Root Explanation

Imped is derived from the Latin word 'impedire', which is formed from 'in-' (meaning not) and 'pedis' (meaning foot). The term originally referred to something that hinders or obstructs movement, literally meaning to not be able to use one's feet freely.

Memory Tip

Think of being unable to use your 'feet' ('pedis') because something is 'not' ('in-') allowing you to move. This helps you remember that 'imped' means to hinder or obstruct.
