interconnecting
Joining things together
Interconnecting describes things that connect to each other, forming a network or system where parts link together: interconnecting rooms, interconnecting flights.
The word emphasizes mutual or reciprocal connection—not just A connecting to B, but each element joining with others to create a larger whole: The hotel's interconnecting suites work well for families.
