rivalrous
Rivalrous refers to a situation, typically in economics, where the consumption or use of a good or service by one individual or entity prevents or limits its availability or usability to another individual or entity. In other words, it's a characteristic of a resource that can't be consumed or enjoyed by multiple parties simultaneously due to its finite or restrictive nature.
