trespass
Cross property lines
Trespass is to enter someone's property without permission or legal right: No trespassing signs lined the fence.
The word extends to any violation of boundaries or rules: to trespass against someone is to wrong them, as in the Lord's Prayer's forgive us our trespasses.
A trespass is the act itself or the offense committed.
