Information
has gloss	(noun) a lack of permissiveness or indulgence and a tendency to confine behavior within certain specified limits unpermissiveness, restrictiveness
has gloss	eng: In semantics, a modifier is said to be restrictive (or defining) if it restricts the reference of its head. For example, in "the red car is fancier than the blue one", red and blue are restrictive, because they restrict which cars car and one are referring to. ("The car is fancier than the one" would make little sense.) By contrast, in "Johns beautiful wife", beautiful is non-restrictive; presuming John has only one wife, "Johns wife" identifies her sufficiently, while "beautiful" only serves to add additional information. (Note that in the unusual case that John has multiple wives, only one of whom is considered "beautiful", the modifier could be used in the restrictive sense.)
