Etymology
The term 'interferingly' is derived from the verb 'interfere', which has its roots in the Latin word 'interferre', meaning 'to strike among or between'. The Latin roots breakdown into 'inter-' meaning 'among' or 'between' and 'ferre' meaning 'to carry' or 'to bear'. The evolution of the word can be traced back to Middle English, which adopted the term from Old French. Over time, 'interfere' evolved into its current usage in English, with 'interferingly' being formed as an adverbial modification. The prefix 'inter-' emphasizes the notion of intervening in a situation, typically with a connotation of hindrance or invasion, which reflects the dominant usage of the term in various contexts.
