Crossword Genius

Impede the movement of basket (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hamper

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'impede the movement' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'basket' is the second definition.
(eg food hamper)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hamper that I've seen before include "Hinder, impede" , "Prevent free movement" , "Large covered basket" , "Christmas basket" , "Food-basket" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
