No it's not. List of filesystem blocks? List of block devices?

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.

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

>block has 1 other meaning

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.

[permo-w]

>Wrong. A list of blocked processes?

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

>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 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

[YATA2]

>that's the same meaning

No it's not. Blocked processes and blacklisted processes are two very different things.

>that's not what glean means

No one said that's what glean means.

I'm talking about how easy it is to intuit [glean] a word meaning. you missed this. that's okay
