if you don't know what either a blacklist or blocklist is, the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean
yes block has 1 other meaning, but that pales compared to black which doesn't have the descriptive meaning in the first place

Wrong. A list of blocked processes?
>the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean
No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition.

that's the same meaning. the processes are blocked from proceeding

that's not what glean means
>Wrong >No it's not
why are you taking this confrontational tone? it's unpleasant and doesn't help your case
Or use blacklist, a word that has a definition that predates modern computing and non-English speakers can quickly translate using any old translator, dictionary, etc.
