INTERFERING Meaning and Definition

1. Interfering is an adjective that refers to someone or something that meddles, intervenes, or involves themselves in other people's affairs, actions, or decisions without being invited or needed. It is typically used to describe individuals who intrude upon or disturb the privacy or autonomy of others, often with the intention of exerting control or influence.

   For instance, a person could be deemed interfering if they constantly interfere in conversations or activities that do not concern them, offering unsolicited advice, opinions, or judgments. They may impose their own opinions, beliefs, or preferences upon others, disregarding their wishes or boundaries. Interfering individuals may also engage in constant surveillance or monitoring of others, attempting to regulate their actions, movements, or interactions.

   It is important to note that interfering can have negative connotations, as it often implies an unwelcome intrusion or disruption. However, it can also depend on the perspective of the person being interfered with. Some might appreciate the concern or assistance, while others may feel irritated, resentful, or patronized by the interfering behavior.

   Overall, interfering refers to actions or individuals who intrude upon others' personal space, decisions, or activities without invitation, often in an attempt to exert control or influence.

Etymology of INTERFERING

The word "interfering" comes from the verb "interfere", which dates back to the 15th century. The etymology of "interfere" can be traced back to Latin roots. It combines the prefix "inter-" meaning "between" or "among", and the verb "ferre" meaning "to bear" or "to carry". Therefore, the literal meaning of "interfere" is "to carry between" or "to come between". Over time, the term "interfere" evolved to encompass the notion of meddling, intervening, or getting involved in situations where one's presence or actions are not necessarily welcome or desired. As a result, "interfering" became the present participle form of "interfere", describing someone or something that interferes or meddles in the affairs of others.
