INTERMEDDLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Intermeddled is a verb that refers to the act of involving oneself in the affairs or business of others without authorization or invitation. It implies taking or participating in actions that one does not have the right or authority to engage in.
When someone intermeddles, they intrude or interfere in matters where they may not have a proper role or responsibility. This interference can often disrupt or complicate the situation, especially if the person lacking authority oversteps their boundaries.
This term is often used in legal contexts. In legal contexts, intermeddling usually refers to actions taken by an unauthorized or unappointed individual in relation to someone's estate, property, or assets after their death. In this sense, it refers to someone who involves themselves in the administration or distribution of the deceased person's belongings without the proper legal authority, such as an executor or administrator.
The term can also be extended to include situations outside of legal contexts, where someone trespasses into matters or affairs that do not pertain to them, meddling in the affairs or private business of others without appropriate permission.

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

2. "Meddle" originated from Old English "meddlian", which means "to mix" or "interfere".
