adjoining
Touching at edges
Adjoining means sharing a boundary or being directly next to something: adjoining rooms, adjoining properties.
Two things that adjoin touch at their edges without anything between them.
The word typically describes physical spaces—rooms, lots, countries—that share a common border: We booked adjoining hotel rooms so the kids could visit easily.
