noun
The furthest point, degree, or amount to which something can extend, continue, or be allowed, beyond which it is not possible or permitted.
A limit marks the outer edge of what is possible, permitted, or endurable, whether that means a speed limit posted along a road, a time limit set for finishing an exam, or the physical limit of how much weight a bridge can bear. In mathematics a limit describes the value that a sequence or function approaches ever more closely without necessarily reaching it. People also speak of personal limits, meaning the point past which they refuse to be pushed further, whether in patience, effort, or belief.
