About this pattern
Explanation
にとどまらず is used to show that something extends beyond a thing previously mentioned, or that a situation or effect is not confined to one scope. It contrasts with a narrower scope and emphasizes expansion to broader areas or contexts. It often appears after a noun or a clause that precedes it, and can pair with various parts of speech to indicate “not just X but also Y.”
