Encumber (6)

I believe the answer is:

hamper

'encumber' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hamper that I've seen before include "Food parcel" , "Hinder, impede" , "Picnic box" , "basket case?" , "basket with a cover" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Family Time, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily and The Times.
