When many people, animals, or things come into a place and make problems or big changes there.

نمط الاستخدام: an invasion of [people/animals/things]

unwanted intrusion into privacy or rights

When someone looks into or controls your private life or personal space in a way that is not right or not welcome.

خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes omit the preposition *"of"* and say *"invasion privacy"*. The correct phrase is *"invasion of privacy"*. They may also use *"invasion"* alone where *"intrusion"* or *"interference"* sounds more natural; in legal and everyday English, the fixed phrase *"invasion of privacy"* is especially common.

intrusion (Stresses entering someone’s private area or life; slightly more formal and general than "invasion".) | violation (Focuses on breaking rules or rights, often used in legal or serious contexts.)

spread of cancer into tissue

نمط الاستخدام: the invasion of [a tissue/organ] by [cells]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may wrongly apply the everyday military meaning in medical texts. In medical contexts, *invasion* almost always refers to cells or disease spreading into nearby tissues, not armies or people.
المرادفات
penetration (A more general technical term for going into something; in medicine, may be used for cells or substances entering tissue.)
الأضداد
containment (Describes keeping disease cells from spreading beyond their original site, the opposite of invasion.)

colonization (In ecology, can describe a species establishing in a new area, but does not always suggest harm the way "invasion" often does.)
الأضداد
