obstructer

/əbstɹˈʌktɚ/ noun

Agent noun of obstruct: someone who obstructs.

Word Origin 'Obstruct' is from 'ob-' (against) + 'struere' (build) — to build against, to block. An 'obstructer' is one who builds barriers. The root 'struere' gives us 'construct' (build together), 'destroy' (un-build), 'instruct' (build into the mind), and 'structure' (something built). So an obstructer is literally a builder of obstacles.
