blockade
의미: The sealing off of a place, especially a port or city, to prevent goods or people from entering or leaving; an obstruction that prevents access.
Blockade is primarily a military and naval term describing the use of force to prevent supplies from reaching an enemy. The Berlin Blockade (1948–49) and the naval blockade of Cuba during the missile crisis (1962) are well-known examples. In wider usage, it describes any deliberate obstruction — a road blockade by protesters, an economic blockade. It can function as both noun and verb. Common collocations include 'naval blockade,' 'impose a blockade,' 'run a blockade,' 'lift a blockade,' and 'economic blockade.'
