Origin:
The word "meddle" comes from the Old English word "medeltōn," which meant "to measure" or "to determine." This word was originally used to refer to the process of dividing land into plots of equal size. Over time, the meaning of "meddle" evolved to include the idea of interfering in other people's affairs. This is because measuring land often involved trespassing on the property of others, which was considered to be an unwelcome intrusion.
