Inter-digitated refers to something that is closely or intricately woven together, like the fingers of two hands. Synonyms for this term include interlaced, intertwined, entwined, interlocked, and meshed. Interlaced typically describes the weaving together of two or more strands, while intertwined suggests a more complex and intricate pattern of interweaving. Entwined connotes a twisting or winding of different elements, while interlocked implies a strong and secure connection between them. Meshed, on the other hand, refers more specifically to a pattern of woven or interconnected wires or fibers, as in a mesh screen or fabric.
