Etymology: Interjoined is simply "inter-" attached to "joined," with nothing more hidden in it. The prefix comes from Latin "inter," meaning "between" or "among," which English has absorbed through countless words such as "intercept" and "interstate." Joining is the older, plainer part, so the whole word describes pieces linked together in the space between one another. The prefix carries its Latin sense of "between" into the word's meaning. Things that are interjoined are not merely attached to each other from the outside but are fastened so that their connections run through one another, which is why the word suits closely knit parts, structures, or groups of people.
