Caution :"restraint" and "constraint" are only synonyms if they are used figuratively to denote the means of preventing one from doing something, such as in the expressions "social constraints" or "social restraints". In other instances, because of the quirks of usage, they cannot be used interchangeably. "Restraint", in particular, is a highly polysemous term. It can denote a device that restricts movement(=restraining device) ;it can denote the control over one's expression, emotions or urges, i. e. moderation(DE : Mäßigung) in addition to the figurative definition already cited above.
