The word 干预 is a compound formed by combining two characters, each contributing to its overall meaning. The first character, 干 (gān), carries connotations of "involving oneself" or "interfering", while the second, 预 (yù), means "in advance" or "to pre-empt". When paired, they create a synergistic meaning that goes beyond simple interference; it specifically denotes proactive or meddlesome involvement in the affairs of others, often with a negative connotation of overstepping boundaries or imposing one's will where it is not wanted. This structure is typical of Chinese word formation, where two meaningful syllables (morphemes) are combined to express a precise and nuanced concept.
