Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived in the late 16th century from the Dutch word 'interlooper', combining the Latin prefix 'inter-' (meaning 'between') with the Dutch 'looper' (meaning 'runner', related to 'leap'). Originally used in a commercial sense to describe traders who interfered in the monopoly privileges of the Levant or East India companies, it eventually evolved to refer generally to any intruder or trespasser.
