intermix
Mingle with another
To intermix is to mix together, blending different elements into one another.
The word emphasizes mutual mingling rather than one thing absorbing another: The flavors intermix beautifully in this dish.
Often used for populations, cultures, or substances that combine while retaining some distinctness: Over generations, the two communities intermixed.
