countercheck
Restrain a restraint
Countercheck means to verify something by checking it a second time or through an independent method: We countercheck all inventory counts against the shipping records.
As a noun, it's a check that opposes or restrains another action—a check upon a check.
The word appears in both literal verification contexts and figurative uses where one force holds another in balance.
