impede
意味: To obstruct or slow the progress of something, creating barriers that make it difficult to proceed or function effectively.
Impede is more formal than 'hinder' and suggests a more significant obstacle. It is widely used in legal, political, and academic writing. Common collocations include 'impede progress,' 'impede the flow,' and 'impede access.' In legal contexts, 'impeding a police officer' or 'impeding an investigation' can constitute criminal offences.
