Burden, impediment (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

encumbrance

I believe this is a double definition.

'burden' is the first definition.
(I know that burden can be written as encumbrance)

'impediment' is the second definition.
(I know that encumbrance is a type of impediment)

(Other definitions for encumbrance that I've seen before include "liability" , "Impediment - burden" , "drag" , "confounded nuisance!" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
