Hinder, obstruct (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impede

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'hinder' is the first definition.
(I know that impede is a kind of hinder)

'obstruct' is the second definition.
(I know that obstruct is a kind of impede)

(Other definitions for impede that I've seen before include "Cramp" , "Delay; block progress of" , "Delay or obstruct" , "Hamper" , "check" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
