This week's word in the news: BARRICADE

DEFINITION:
Any object or structure that creates a barrier or obstacle to control, block passage or force the flow of traffic in the desired direction.


FOUND IN THE NEWS:
Demonstrators supporting and opposing Israel over the war in Gaza clashed in a large and noisy but mostly peaceful assembly at UCLA on Sunday, shouting slogans and pulling at police barricades not far from where pro-Palestinian students have maintained a tent encampment for days.
