encumbrance
含义: A burden, impediment, or claim that restricts the free use or transfer of something; in property law, any charge, lien, or liability attached to land or assets.
In property law, an encumbrance is any right or claim held by a third party that affects the owner's ability to use or dispose of the property freely — mortgages, easements, restrictive covenants, and liens are all encumbrances. A 'certificate free from encumbrances' confirms that no such claims exist. In general usage, an encumbrance is anything that hampers movement or progress. The verb is 'encumber.' Common collocations include 'free from encumbrance,' 'legal encumbrance,' 'financial encumbrance,' and 'encumbered assets.'
