Etymology of INTER MEDDLE

The word "intermeddle" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "inter" and "meddle".

1. "Inter": In Latin, "inter" means "between" or "among". It entered the English language through Middle English and Old French in the 14th century.

2. "Meddle": It originated from the Middle English word "medlen", which came from the Old English word "meddlian", meaning "to mix, blend, or combine". The word "meddle" first appeared in the English language in the 14th century and has retained its meaning of interfering or meddling in something.

The combination of "inter" and "meddle" created the term "intermeddle", which means to interfere or intrude in someone else's affairs or business.
