means Something stuck in a passage that stops the normal flow of a substance through it, whether that's water in a pipe, cars on a road, or digestion in a gut.

from Straightforward joinery of 'block' plus the noun-forming suffix '-age.' 'Block' traces back to Germanic roots for a thick chunk of wood or tree stump — the kind of heavy object that, dropped in your way, stops you cold. The '-age' ending, borrowed from French, turns the action into a condition: not just blocking, but the resulting state of being blocked. No myth here, just a wooden stump of a word doing exactly what it says.
