Etymology

The term 'interlope' originates from the early 17th century, derived from the Spanish word 'interloper', which itself comes from the combination of 'inter-' meaning 'between' and 'loper' meaning 'to leap or to jump'. It was initially used in English to refer to a person who intrudes into a trade or business, often without proper rights or credentials. Over the years, the usage of the term has evolved to encompass a broader range of contexts, including personal relationships and informal social settings. Interlopers are often viewed as unwelcome participants who disrupt the existing dynamics, making their inclusion in any situation contentious. The word reflects a sense of imbalance and disruption caused by unwanted involvement.
