What does MEDDLE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To take part in something that is not your business, usually in a way that is unwelcome.
To meddle is to push into other peoples affairs, or to handle something you do not understand, so that the result is more trouble than help. The word reached English from Old French, where it first meant to mix, and that sense of mixing yourself in still shows. It often pairs with the word in, as in meddle in a quarrel, or with the word with, as in meddle with the controls.
