Please don’t forget to write in for episode 52 with your favorite words!

encumbrance, noun. Burden; annoyance; impediment; without encumbrance: having no children; claim, mortgage, etc., on property. From Old French encumbrance.
In a sentence: “The heavy bag was quite an encumbrance for him.”
I’ve encountered this word in a computer game. In the game, the encumbrance is the amount of weight my hero carries.
