If an area (city, town, building) or thing is declared off limits it means that someone with the authority to do so, has declared that people are forbidden to enter into the restricted area or engage in whatever is proscribed. John

Hi John,

Thanks a lot John.

But I want to know the way in which the meaning is formed.

And the original:[The town is off limits to miltary personnel]

give a feeling the town is put into a staetd state in which out of the bound there is the town.

It is not in
