Etymology: Interlinkages is the plural of interlinkage, which combines the Latin prefix "inter-" ("between" or "among") with "linkage," a noun from "link." The "-age" suffix, borrowed through French from Latin "-aticum," forms nouns for an action, a result, or a collection of things, as in "wreckage" or "frontage." The origin of "link" itself is uncertain, but it has long meant a single ring in a chain, and the plural suits a term describing many such connections running between many parties at once.

Synonyms: connections, links, relations, associations, interconnections
