Intervenes is a verb that primarily refers to the act of coming between or getting involved in a situation or conflict in order to alter the outcome or resolve the issue at hand. It conveys the idea of stepping in to interrupt or disrupt a series of events, actions, or processes that are occurring, with the aim of exerting influence or bringing about changes in order to achieve a specific objective.
When one intervenes, they typically take action to prevent or mitigate something undesired from happening, or to assist and facilitate the resolution of a problem or dispute. This can involve actively participating in a discussion or negotiation, mediating between conflicting parties, or interposing oneself between two or more individuals or groups engaged in a confrontation.
The act of intervening often implies the individual has a specific interest, concern, or authority that justifies their involvement. It can occur in a variety of contexts, including personal relationships, international affairs, legal disputes, medical emergencies, or environmental crises. The intervention itself may take different forms depending on the situation, such as offering advice, providing assistance, introducing legislation, deploying troops, or implementing policies.
Overall, intervening implies a deliberate action with the intention of altering the course of events, usually in a positive or beneficial manner, in order to bring about a desired outcome or prevent negative consequences.

The word "intervenes" comes from the Latin word "intervenīre", which is a combination of the prefix "inter-" meaning "between" or "among" and the verb "venīre" meaning "to come". In Latin, "intervenīre" meant "to come between" or "to occur between". Over time, the term was borrowed into Old French as "intervenir" and then entered the English language as "intervene". It retains a similar meaning of coming between or occurring between two or more things, typically in a situation or event.
