intercrossed
Bred between varieties
Intercrossed means crossed with each other, describing things that intersect or interweave: intercrossed threads, intercrossed paths.
In biology, it refers to organisms that have been bred or hybridized with one another: The researchers intercrossed several varieties to study inheritance patterns.
The word emphasizes mutual or reciprocal crossing rather than a single intersection.
