adjacents
Things right beside
Things that are next to or beside something else.
The word functions as a noun form of adjacent, typically appearing in technical or analytical contexts: The algorithm checks all adjacents of the current cell.
In casual usage, adjacents can refer to related but not identical things—near neighbors in concept rather than space: cottagecore and its adjacents.
