meddles
Sticks nose in
Meddles is the third-person singular of meddle, meaning to involve oneself in matters that aren't one's concern.
The word carries disapproval—someone who meddles is interfering where they shouldn't: She meddles in everyone's business.
A meddler offers unwanted advice or takes uninvited action in others' affairs.
