criss-crossed
Woven back forth
Criss-crossed describes a pattern of lines or paths that cross each other repeatedly, forming X shapes or a grid: The valley was criss-crossed with hiking trails.
Things can criss-cross a surface or area: Scars criss-crossed his back.
The pattern suggests disorder or complexity—multiple intersections rather than parallel order.
Also spelled crisscrossed.
