Syn. -- To intervene; intercede; mediate; interfere; intermeddle. -- To
Interpose, Intermeddle, Interfere. A man may often interpose with
propriety in the concerns of others; he can never intermeddle without
being impertinent or officious; nor can be interfere without being
liable to the same charge, unless he has rights which are interfered
with. "In our practical use, interference is something offensive. It is
the pushing in of himself between two parties on the part of a third
who was not asked, and is not thanked for his pains, and who, as the
feeling of the word implies, had no business there; while interposition
is employed to express the friendly, peacemaking mediation of one whom
the act well became, and who, even if he was not specially invited
thereunto, is still thanked for what he has done." Trench.
