Etymology
Past participle of 'verbauen', from the prefix 'ver-' (indicating change, completion, or a mistake) and 'bauen' (to build).
Memory Tips
Think of 'ver-' as creating a result: either something is 'built-in' (a completed action) or a view is 'built-over' and thus obstructed (a negative result).
