An interloper being someone who intrudes or meddles in a situation (inter "between or amid) + loper "to leap or run" - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/loper ), an extraloper would be someone who dances or leaps around the outside of a subject or meeting with similar annoyances.
"inter-" means between, "intra-" means within, "extra-" means outside. "intra-" and "inter" aren't quite synonyms but they definitely aren't opposites of eachother.
Very concise, thank you for sharing this insight.
I read this as interloper. What's an extraloper?

Are you sure the extraloper doesn't just run away on tangents?

Opposite of "inter-" is "intra-".
Intraloper, weirdly enough, is a word in use.

So we have also have the word "extra", but oddly the word "exter" is left out.
