Cannot stir, maybe due to inhibition (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

constraint

'inhibition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cannot stir maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'cannot'+'stir'='cannotstir'
'cannotstir' anagrammed gives 'CONSTRAINT'.

'due to' is the link.

(Other definitions for constraint that I've seen before include "Limit - restriction" , "force" , "confinement" , "Limitation" , "restriction made" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
