The form rajoitettua derives from the verb rajoittaa and the past passive participle ra j o i t t e t t u. In Finnish, the participle can take different inflections to agree with the noun it modifies, and the partitive form rajoitettua is used when the noun is indefinite or described in a general sense. The corresponding nominative form is rajoitettu (restricted).

In everyday language, speakers may also use the shorter counterpart rajoitettu when the noun is in the nominative or definite forms, such as rajoitettu tieto or rajoitettu käyttö, depending on grammatical structure.
