The act of imposing or enforcing a curfew; restricting people's movement during certain hours.
Present participle of the verb 'curfew,' formed by adding '-ing' to the stem. As a verb, 'curfew' emerged in modern English during the 20th century alongside increased state regulation of public movement.
Curfewing is what governments do when they want to control where people can be at certain times—from medieval 'cover fire' signals to modern pandemic lockdowns, the concept is ancient but the tool is modern.
