Interdigital

Postby William Hupy » Tue Apr 09, 2019 8:11 am

Direct from Latin to you. Inter, between, and digit, fingers or toes. A person with interdigitated fingers has crossed his fingers. There’s more: you can interdigitate cultures, plants, animals.

For a toothier near-synonym, we can turn to intercuspation. Chew on that one and feel your cusps interdigitate.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
