intersects
Meets and overlaps
Intersects means to cross or cut through, typically at a point or line where two things meet.
Roads intersect at a junction; lines intersect on a graph.
The word extends to abstract overlap: Her research intersects with mine in several areas.
Things that intersect share common ground while remaining distinct.
