The etymological journey of intruder begins with intrudere , which can be translated as “introduce by force.” This word derived from intrusus in medieval Latin. We have to explain that this word is the result of the sum of two lexical components of said language: the prefix “in-”, which means “inwards”, and the participle “trusus”, which comes from the verb “trudere” which is synonymous with “push”.
The term came to our language as an intruder : this is what someone who enters somewhere without permission or authorization is called. An intruder, therefore, violates a right.
For example: “A man shot and killed an intruder who had entered his home with the intention of robbing him,” “The guard discovered an intruder in the company through the security cameras, but when he went to look for him he already “He had escaped through the roof” , “I think I have an intruder on my computer” .
Among the synonyms of the term intruder at hand, we can highlight words such as meddler, stranger, stranger, snoop, nosy, indiscreet or bossy. On the contrary, among its antonyms we find terms such as discreet, clear, suitable or loyal.
The crime of trespassing is committed by an intruder. In this case, the subject enters a property without the consent of its owner.
Suppose a woman , upon entering her home, encounters an intruder in the dining room. Upon being discovered, the intruder pushes the owner of the house and runs out the door. The individual, in his intrusion, may have committed other crimes (such as theft or a threat).
In the same way, we cannot ignore that there are several literary works that have the term we are addressing in their titles. This would be the case, for example, of the novel “El intruso”, which was published in 1904 and was written by the famous Spanish Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. It revolves around the social and political conflicts that exist in Vizcaya between the defenders of Carlism and the mining proletarians.
Likewise, the writer Frederick Forsyth also has among his bibliography a very special work also titled “The Intruder.” This was published in Spanish in 2016 and is his autobiography. In it he makes it clear how, on many occasions, the experiences and circumstances he faced in his life inspired him to write some of his best books.
In addition, we cannot forget the song “El intruso”, which is performed by Zacarías Ferreira and which was presented in 2017 within the album “El Amor. Volume 1”.
“Intruso” , on the other hand, is the title of a Spanish film released in 1993 whose director was Vicente Aranda , while “Intruders” is a book by the American Budd Hopkins, whose original title is “Intruders” .
“Intruders in the show” , finally, is the name of an Argentine TV program. Since 2001, it has been broadcast on América TV hosted by journalist Jorge Rial .
