Limiting

Hi, What does it mean "limiting" in this context ?

"Limiting words set and define the essay. They are usually about the topic areas."
  

Top answer

Words which are specific to the topic. As a simple but very common example, don't use 'people' when you can use words more specific to your topic, as for instance 'laborers', 'students' or 'native Americans'.
