A Spanish word meaning a busybody or meddler, referring to someone who pokes their nose into other people's affairs.
From Spanish ardelio, possibly derived from ardilla (squirrel) in reference to the animal's busy, quick movements, or from roots connected to restlessness and fidgeting.
Spanish gave us this perfect word for that friend who's always nosing into everyone's business—the comparison to a squirrel's frantic activity is wonderfully visual and captures the constant, nervous meddling perfectly.
