Try it out. It also uses your word in example sentences, and it often lists origins and synonyms. <br /> <br />Inter- is a prefix that stands for "between." <br /> <br />To interrupt is to stop or bother. <br />To interfere is to meddle. <br />To intervene is to come between. <br /> <br />You see how interrupt and interfere can sometimes be perceived as "rudeness." That's why they usually have negative connotations. Intervene is more neutral (and sometimes positive, like you said). <br /> <br />Sprout and germinate are similar terms.http://www.englishforums.com/English/CannotDistinguishTheseWords/zhzjc/post.htmSun, 16 Dec 2007 06:10:49 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:453596Belly3http://www.englishforums.com/English/CannotDistinguishTheseWords/zhzjc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-453596.xml<P>What are the differences between : <STRONG>Intervene</STRONG> and<STRONG> Interfere and Interrupt</STRONG></P> <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <STRONG>Sprout </STRONG>and<STRONG>&nbsp; Germinate?</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG></STRONG>&nbsp;</P> <P>I suppose <STRONG>interfere </STRONG>has a&nbsp;negative meaning while<STRONG> Intervene</STRONG> has a positive meaning, do they?</P><div style="clear:both;"></div>
