Oxford dictionaries

[hhtt21]

I looked at the verb interfere in Oxford dictionaries but something was strange. When I expanded synonyms the options were not verb even though the meaning was for a verb.

Would you explain what these are: meddlesome[FONT=&quot], meddling, intrusive, intruding, prying, probing, nosy, inquisitive, over-curious, over-interested, busybody?

Thank you.[/FONT]

They are potential synonyms for the adjective interfering, except for the last, which could be a synonym for interfering person.

But I think that's very strange because they give verb than they give first the adjective's synonyms then verb's synonyms. Don't you think this is strange, too?

I'd guess it's an incorrect entry.

I agree! They could have at least shown that meddlesome, meddling, etc. are used as adjectives.
