The word meddling comes from the Middle English word medelen, which means "to mix" or "to interfere". This word is derived from the Old English word mēdel, which has the same meaning. The word mēdel is thought to be derived from the Proto-Germanic word mēdjan, which also means "to mix".
The word meddling means to interfere in someone else's affairs without being asked or wanted. It can also mean to involve oneself in something that is not one's own business.
