    Answer: 1400, from Old French empedement or directly from Latin impedimentum "hindrance," from impedire "impede," literally "to shackle the feet," from assimilated form of in - "into, in" (from PIE root * en "in") + pes (genitive pedis) "foot," from PIE root * ped - "foot." Related: Impedimental.
