interferer

/ˌɪntəfˈɪɹɚ/ noun

A person who, or thing that, interferes.

Word Origin Interfere comes from Latin inter 'between' and ferre 'to bear, carry' — originally meaning 'to strike between', to meddle. An interferer is one who interferes. Ferre is a root that gives us confer (bring together), differ (carry apart), offer (carry to), prefer (carry before), refer (carry back), and transfer (carry across).
