hinder

hinder
{{11}}hinder (adj,) "situated in the rear, toward the back," late 14c., probably from O.E. hinder (adv.) "behind, back, afterward," but treated as a comparative of HIND (Cf. hind) (adj.). Related to O.H.G. hintar, Ger. hinter, Goth. hindar "behind." M.E. had hinderhede, lit. "hinder-hood; posterity in time, inferiority in rank;" and hinderling "person fallen from moral or social respectability, wretch."
{{12}}hinder (v.) O.E. hindrian "to harm, injure, impair, check, repress," from P.Gmc. *hinderojanan (Cf. O.N. hindra, Du. hinderen, O.H.G. hintaron, Ger. hindern "to keep back"), from a root meaning "on that side of, behind" (Cf. HIND (Cf. hind) (adj.)); thus the ground sense is "to put or keep back," though this sense in English is recorded only from late 14c. Related: Hindered; hindering.
