Hinder

verb/HIN-der/

To make it harder for someone to do something or for progress to happen.

Talking during class can hinder everyone's learning.

Hinder holds 'hind' — like a hind leg dragging behind and slowing you down.

Use it when something slows or blocks progress; the opposite of helping.
