Portmanteau of intervention and yenta (Yiddish for matchmaker/busybody). An interyention is more invasive than an intervention, and leans more toward interfering.
My mother wants to introduce me to her Zumba teacher's son, but I refused, as her last interyention did not end well. There's only so much therapy I can afford and can fit into my week.
