block's
Belonging to obstruction
Block's is the possessive form of block.
A block is a solid piece of material, often with flat sides: a block's weight, a block's dimensions.
In cities, a block is a section of streets: the block's residents complained about noise.
Block also means an obstruction: the block's effect on traffic was immediate.
The word extends to units of data, auction platforms, and children's building toys.
