intrusive

Meaning

Adj

1. Tending to intrude; doing that which is not welcome; interrupting or disturbing; entering without permission or welcome.
2. Of rocks: forced, while in a plastic or molten state, into the cavities or between the cracks or layers of other rocks.
3. epenthetic
4. Designating a type of collection in which each item keeps track of what collection it is in, rather than the more conventional approach of a collection keeping track of what items it contains.
