The answer
STINT
What stint means
A period of time spent doing a particular job or activity, or to restrict the supply or amount of something given to someone.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *styntan*, meaning to blunt or dull, related to Old Norse *stuttr* (short, blunt). The sense shifted to mean "to limit" or "to be sparing with" by the 13th century, likely influenced by the idea of cutting short or restricting. By the 1600s, it developed the modern sense of a fixed period of work or duty.
