'block' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'mev's editor interrupting exercises' is the wordplay.
'mev' becomes 'im' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'interrupting' is an insertion indicator.
'exercises' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education class).
'ed' put inside 'pe' is 'pede'.
'im'+'pede'='IMPEDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impede that I've seen before include "Delay progress of (something)" , "Hinder or hold up" , "Hold back" , "Handicap" , "Cramp" .)
