Interception refers to the act of stopping or capturing something that is in transit. The term can be applied in a variety of contexts, but it generally involves the act of taking possession or control of something that was intended for another destination or recipient.
For example, in sports such as football or basketball, interception refers to a defensive play in which a player intercepts a pass intended for an opponent. In military and security contexts, interception may refer to the act of capturing communications or other forms of intelligence from an enemy or a potential threat.
In general, interception implies an element of surprise or subversion, as the intercepted party is typically unaware that their communication or possession has been compromised.
