What does impose mean?

Answer:
It means "to put upon". "The government imposed wage and price restraints to control inflation." "The judge imposed a sentence of nine months on the convicted criminal." "I don't wish to impose on your hospitality, but my wife is about to give birth and we can't get to a hospital. Can we come in?"
