Definition
The action or result of curtailing something; a reduction in extent, amount, or duration.
Etymology
From 'curtail' plus the noun suffix '-ment,' which creates an abstract noun describing the act or result of the action.
Kelly Says
When COVID forced a curtailment of travel, flights dropped 90%—the word describes both the action and the final shrunk-down result!
