      Meanings

      Adjective

      1. existing or happening between different regions

      Beyond the definition

      Imagine a road trip. If you drive from the Northeast to the South, you are moving between different parts of the country. That is the basic idea behind interregional. The word "inter-" means "between" or "among," and "regional" refers to a certain area. So, anything interregional connects or happens across those different areas.

      It is not only about travel. Interregional trade might mean sending goods from the Midwest to the Northeast. An interregional conflict could be a disagreement between two areas over water, land, or resources. Think of it as something that does not stay inside one region, but reaches into others.
