intersect
Cut across another
Intersect means to cross or cut through, typically at a point or along a line.
Two roads intersect where they meet and cross each other; in geometry, lines or planes intersect when they share common points.
The word extends naturally to abstract domains: Their research interests intersect in unexpected ways.
As a noun, an intersect is a point or area of crossing, though intersection is the more common form.
