intrusive
UK: ɪnˈtruːsɪv | US: ɪnˈtruːsɪv
adj. tending to intrude; interrupting or disturbing without invitation
adj. (geology) relating to rock formed by magma pushing into pre-existing rock
The word "intrusive" originates from Latin intrudere (to thrust into), combining in- (into) and trudere (to push/thrust). The suffix -ive transforms it into an adjective, describing something that forces itself into a space or situation. The geological sense reflects magma forcibly entering rock layers. The morpheme trus (from Latin trudere) appears in related words like "intrude" and "extrude," consistently conveying forceful entry or projection.
