Have you ever experienced intercommunion during a service?

Root Explanation

Intercommunion → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "communio" (from Latin, meaning sharing or communion). The word refers to the act of sharing or participating in communion between different groups or denominations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sharing' ('communio') that happens 'between' ('inter-') different groups — that's what intercommunion means.
