  1. intervening

    Intervening refers to the act of coming or occurring between two events, stages, or points in time, often with the purpose of influencing, modifying, or preventing a particular outcome. This might involve stepping into a situation to resolve a conflict, taking action to prevent a potentially harmful event, or potentially inserting an element in an experiment to measure its effect. In essence, intervening involves becoming a participant in a situation rather than remaining a passive observer.
