interrelation
How things connect
Interrelation is a mutual or reciprocal connection between things.
The word emphasizes that the relationship runs both ways—each element affects the other: the interrelation between poverty and crime, complex interrelations among climate, agriculture, and migration patterns.
Often interchangeable with interrelationship.
