Obstructing; hindering (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impeding

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'obstructing' is the first definition.
('impede' can be a synonym of 'obstruct')

'hindering' is the second definition.
(I know that hindering can be written as impeding)

(Other definitions for impeding that I've seen before include "Preventing movement" , "Slowing down" , "Hindering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
