Subject to or restricted by a curfew; having a curfew imposed or in effect.
Derived from 'curfew' (Old French 'couvre-feu' meaning cover fire, the signal to extinguish fires and go indoors) plus the past participle suffix '-ed'. The term became common in modern usage during wartime and civil unrest.
During wartime or lockdowns, entire cities become 'curfewed'—it's a word that gained new weight during WWII when blackout curfews kept people indoors for safety.
