Etymology: "Interchanges" is the third-person singular form of the verb "interchange," so its history is that of the verb itself. The verb comes from Old French "entrechange," a compound of "entre" (between) and "change" (exchange), meaning the two things passed back and forth between one another. English took the idea of mutual exchange and built on it: to interchange is to put two or more things into each other's place, so that each takes the position the other held.

Synonyms: exchanges, swaps
