engelleyici

Engelleyici is a Turkish adjective meaning hindering or obstructive. It is used to describe actions, conditions, or factors that prevent progress, development, or success. In many contexts it appears in noun phrases such as engelleyici faktörler (hindering factors), engelleyici tedbirler (restrictive measures), or engelleyici düzenlemeler (obstructive regulations). The term can also function as a descriptive modifier in sentences like “Bu kural engelleyici bir etkiye sahip.” Its use tends to be formal and technical, and it is often found in legal, policy, scientific, or administrative discourse.

Etymology and form: engelleyici is derived from the verb engellemek, meaning to hinder or obstruct, with the agentive suffix -ici forming a participial adjective that conveys “causing hindrance” or “hindering.” Related expressions include engel (obstacle), engelleme (hindrance or hindering action), and engelleyici etken (hindering factor). While engelleyici can be used as an attributive modifier, in some contexts it may appear in semi-nixed noun phrases, especially in technical writing.

Usage notes: Engelleyici emphasizes the inhibiting role of a person, action, or condition. It is close in meaning to synonyms such as kısıtlayıcı (restrictive) and önleyici (preventive), though each carries subtle nuance. The term is most appropriate in formal writing, such as assessments, risk analyses, policy discussions, and regulatory language, where identifying hindering elements is part of the analysis.
