twinned
Coupled as doubles
Twinned describes things paired or coupled together, often as matching counterparts.
Twin cities are twinned—formally linked for cultural exchange.
In crystallography, twinned crystals share lattice points in a symmetrical arrangement.
The word suggests not just pairing but a special correspondence: The two resort towns have been twinned since 1985.
