interminglings
Acts of combining
Interminglings are instances of things mixing together or blending with one another.
The word suggests a thorough combining where distinct elements become interwoven rather than merely placed side by side.
The interminglings of cultures along trade routes produced new artistic styles.
It often appears in contexts describing social, cultural, or abstract mixing where boundaries between separate things become blurred.
