qiáng

wall (CL:面[mian4],堵[du3])

(slang) to block (a website) (usu. in the passive: 被牆|被墙[bei4 qiang2])

earth (土) + sound (啬) = wall

Walls are built from earth and packed soil — the 土 radical roots this character in its physical material. 啬 contributes the sound qiáng and can be set aside for meaning.
