Etymology of INTERLUDED

The word "interluded" is derived from the noun "interlude" which originated from Middle English "enterlude". "Enterlude" itself came from Old French "entrelude", a term referring to the intervals between the acts of a play or a short dramatic performance. The word can be divided into two parts: "inter-" meaning "between" or "among" and "lude" derived from Latin "ludus" meaning "play" or "game". The sense of "interlude" as a short entertainment piece or an interval in a performance is its most common use today.
