interchange
Highway cloverleaf junction
Interchange involves mutual exchange—two or more parties giving and receiving in turn.
Ideas interchange in conversation; highways interchange where traffic flows between them.
An interchange is both the act of exchanging and the place where exchange happens: the interchange of goods between nations, a highway interchange.
Parts that interchange are interchangeable—able to substitute for one another: We interchanged the tires on the car.
