crossovers
Cars blending categories
Crossovers are points or instances where things cross from one category, domain, or audience to another.
A musical crossover reaches listeners outside its primary genre: The country song became a pop crossover hit.
In fiction, a crossover brings characters from separate works together.
Crossover vehicles blend car and SUV features.
The word also names physical crossing points—a pedestrian crossover, or a basketball move faking one direction before crossing to another.
