interferes
- 1Third-person singular simple present of interfere.
A nearby transmitter interferes with the radio signal during storms.
He rarely interferes in disputes between his coworkers.
Note
A form that rarely takes a direct object. Interfere is intransitive in its main uses, so whatever interferes acts through a preposition: it interferes with a signal, or interferes in a dispute. The same form covers meddling, overlapping waves, and a stride in which one foot strikes the opposite ankle. Take care with a person after "with", because the verb also carries a sense of sexual molestation, and the phrase can be read that way.
