EN: to have something blocked
This is when something gets in your way. Your view of the concert stage is naharangan by someone's 'Salamat Shopee' placard. The driveway is naharangan by a badly parked car. It's the state of having an obstacle placed in front of what you want to see or where you want to go. The focus is on the path/view, not the thing being blocked.
ma- (verb prefix) + harang (block) + -an (suffix)
ROOT MEANING: barrier, block, obstacle
The object of this verb is the path or view that is being blocked, not the person or thing trying to pass. Compare with 'maharang' which focuses on the person/thing being intercepted.
