hindrance
含义: A thing that provides resistance or delay to progress; the act of hindering.
Hindrance is slightly more formal than 'obstacle' and often implies that something is slowing progress rather than completely blocking it. A person can also be described as a hindrance — someone who gets in the way or is more trouble than help. The phrase 'more of a hindrance than a help' is a common expression. Unlike 'impediment,' hindrance does not typically appear in medical or legal contexts.
