the.com/intrusion
The uninvited guest that never bothers to RSVP — your mind, your network, your bedroom at 3am.
means The act of forcing or coming into a place, situation, or moment where you weren't wanted or welcomed.
from From Latin intrudere — 'in-' (into) plus 'trudere' (to thrust or push). The same 'trudere' root gives us 'extrude' and 'protrude' — it's all about forceful pushing. Intrusion entered English in the 1400s via French, originally in legal contexts for someone wrongfully pushing their way into property or an office that wasn't theirs — the violation was baked into the word from the start.
