Root Explanation
Interlaced → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "lacer" (from Latin, meaning to tear). The word describes something that is woven or twisted together in a way that the parts are intertwined or torn together between each other.
Memory Tip
Think of things being woven 'between' ('inter-') each other, like threads that are 'torn' ('lacer') together, which helps you remember that 'interlaced' means intertwined.
