'barred' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'complained about having been' is the wordplay.
'complained about' becomes 'rai' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'been' becomes 'led' (leading is a kind of being).
'rai'+'led'='RAILED'

Can you help me to learn more?
