Retard; inhibit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hinder

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'retard' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'inhibit' is the second definition.
(I know that inhibit is a more specific form of the action hinder)

(Other definitions for hinder that I've seen before include "Delay progress, obstruct" , "Obstruct or hold back" , "Obstruct; nearer the back" , "Bow user" , "Obstruct, impede" .)

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