Hobbled (2 b's) orginially refered to a hobble- a rope used to loosely tie two of an animal's feet together. They could walk, but only slowly, so they did not wander away and get lost. It is now used symbolically to indicate that something is preventing you from doing something with full force, speed or vigor. " We wanted to provide free smoke detectors, but were hobbled by the new building code regulations."
