"Blockage" originates from the Old French word "blocage," which comes from the verb "bloquer," meaning "to block" or "to stop." The term "bloquer" itself is related to the Middle Dutch word "blocken" (to block) and the Old High German word "bloc" (a block). Thus, the word "blockage" literally means "the act of blocking" and conveys the idea of something being obstructed or impeded.
