But what is தடுப்புரிமை?

One of the industrial age products that came into Tamilnadu was trains. Of course there was no name for this novel mode of transport in Tamil. All trains used coal in those early years, and smoke came out of the engine. Like a cart (bullock cart) or carriage (horse-drawn carriage), which the Tamil people were familiar, trains also transported goods and people. So Tamil people called it pukai vandi. pukai - smoke, vandi - cart. Easy to remember; one need not have to memorize this name as is the case with the foreign name "train". Those Tamils who have studied in English may say, it is not difficult to remember train. What about people who do not know English? Tamil words and names should be "self-descriptive" and understandable to Tamils, even to those who do not know other languages.

Some people ask me, "Why create Tamil words? Why not just use the English words?" There are now computer centers or Internet centres in villages. There are people who do not know English; some of them do access the Internet. These people would easily remember the word sutti but not mouse; would easily remember arattai arangam but not chat room, would easily remember kuRunthattu but not compact disc or CD. Put yourself in their place. You will understand the need for Tamil words.''

I was able to guess both given the context.
