Accepted Answer

['medl] 
meddleintrude in other people's affairs or business; interfere unwantedly
To meddle is to interfere. You can meddle in someone else's affairs, and you can meddle with someone else's things. Either way, you’re messing with someone else’s stuff and she probably doesn’t like it.
Meddle started out in the late 1400’s meaning “to mingle,” then it became a pain when it began to be used to mean “interfere,” which is how we use it now. For a little while there it also meant to be, um, romantic with someone, but it’s not used that way today. Meddle is what little sisters do, always getting in the middle of your business.

  Here  we have a trio of words that sound the same (at least in American English) but  mean very different things: medal,  meddle, and mettle.
  
  A medal is a disc made of metal with an  inscription or image. It is generally used as an award or a commemoration of an  event:

‎Maplewood  Officers Receive Medal Of Valor 
    
      Special  Olympics duo wins gold medal in golf‎

To meddle is to interfere with someone  or something:

Belarus  will not let any other country meddle in its December presidential election.
    
      Politicians  meddle with existing taxation arrangements at their peril.

Finally, mettle is a quality or qualities that  help a person in a difficult situation. Those qualities might include courage,  ardor, and stamina:
  
     Madison  native tests his mettle in "Hell's Kitchen"
    
      Test  of mettle: How the Steelers can win without Roethlisberger

‎If you don't speak  American English, you might be wondering why mettle makes this list. In American English, when a t appears in an unstressed syllable  between two vowels—or between a vowel and an l, as is the case here—that t is said with a flap of the tongue similar to how we say d. Linguists call it a "medial flap." The same thing happens in betting, metal, noted, writing and many other words.
