Demon child back in view lifted hampers (7)
I believe the answer is:
impedes
'hampers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'demon child back in view lifted' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'demon' could be 'imp' (I've seen this before) and 'imp' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impedes that I've seen before include "Hampers" , "Obstructs, blocks" , "checks" , "Hinders, obstructs" .)
