偓

constrained

偓 is composed of the radical 人 (person) and 屋 (house). 屋 refers to a house or shelter—a confined space that encloses a person inside. When a person is trapped or restricted within a limited space, they naturally feel constrained and uneasy; thus, 偓 was formed to describe being constrained, timid, or restricted in behavior.
