When an army surrounds a city or building and cuts off food, water, and help, trying to force the people inside to give up — instead of attacking directly, they just wait and starve them out. You can also say a place is 'under siege' more loosely, meaning it's under constant pressure or attack, even without real armies.
圍城;圍攻
組成From Old French "sege," meaning a seat — the idea being that the attacking army "sits" outside the walls for a long time.
