1. 1自己給自己定的;自我施加的(規則、義務、期限等)

    A self-imposed rule, duty, deadline, or limit is one you made for yourself. Nobody asked you to take it. You chose it, and now you live by it. People talk about a self-imposed deadline (you picked the date), a self-imposed diet, or self-imposed exile (you left on your own; nobody sent you away). The feeling can be proud — “I set this for myself” — or heavy, when the rule is stricter than anyone required. Contrast: an imposed rule comes from a parent, a boss, a school, or a law. Self-imposed means the pressure is homemade. Though actually, the line can blur: you may “choose” a rule because you think other people will judge you if you don’t, so the duty feels yours even when fear of others helped make it.

From the word’s history

由 self-「自己」加 imposed「強加的」組成。
