1. O.E.
hindrian "to harm, injure, impair," from P.Gmc.

hindra, Du.
hinderen, Ger.
hindern "to keep back."
2. From Middle English hindren, from Old English hindrian, from Proto-Germanic *hindrōną, *hinderōną (“to hinder”), from Proto-Germanic *hinder (“back”) (adverb). Cognate with Dutch hinderen and German hindern, Latin contra (“back, against”). See: Old English '
hindrian', Dutch '
hinderen', German, old spelling '
hindern'.
