An archaic term meaning to meddle, interfere, or involve oneself in something.
From Middle English, combining 'enter' + an obsolete 'mete' or 'meet' element. This Old English/Norman French hybrid fell out of use by the 16th century.
Archaic words like 'entermete' are linguistic fossils—they show us how English once built words differently, and why modern English speakers might find Shakespeare puzzling even though it's technically the same language.
