There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of detaining in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with detaining - you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it's the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a detaining vocabulary list, or just a general detaining word list for whatever purpose, but it's not necessarily going to be useful if you're looking for words that mean the same thing as detaining (though it still might be handy for that).
