To come uninvited, oddly, is not bad mannered! (7)

I believe the answer is:

intrude

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to come uninvited' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'oddly is not bad mannered' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in the odd-numbered positions are used).
'bad mannered' becomes 'rude' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'is'+'not'='isnot'
The alternate letters of 'isnot' are 'int'.
'int'+'rude'='INTRUDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intrude that I've seen before include "Be unwelcome guest" , "Butt in, interfere" , "Come in uninvited" , "Break in" , "Push in uninvited" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
