got in the way of (7)
I believe the answer is:
impeded
'got in the way of' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for impeded that I've seen before include "Obstructed" , "Hindered, slowed down" , "Hampered" , "Got in the way of" , "Blocked (progress)" .)
