Root Explanation

Interhospital → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "hospital" (from Latin "hospitale", meaning a place for guests or a hospital). The word refers to something that occurs between hospitals or involves multiple hospitals.

Memory Tip

Think of 'inter-' meaning 'between' and 'hospital' as a place for care — so 'interhospital' relates to activities or connections that happen between different hospitals.
