obtrusive

The word 'obtrusive' originates from the Latin verb obtrudere, meaning "to thrust upon or against", which is a compound of ob- ("against") and trudere ("to push"). This literal sense of pushing something forward into a space or situation evolved into the figurative meaning of forcing oneself or one's views upon others in an unwelcome manner. The suffix -ivus was added to form the adjective, describing something characterized by this thrusting action. Thus, the modern abstract meaning retains the core logic of something being aggressively and unpleasantly pushed into notice.
