incommode
Make things awkward
To incommode is to cause inconvenience or discomfort to someone.
The word is formal and old-fashioned, appearing mainly in literary or deliberately elevated contexts: I hope my late arrival did not incommode you.
It suggests a minor imposition rather than serious harm—the kind of slight trouble one might apologize for in overly polite company.
