Root Explanation

Internuncial → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "nuncius" (meaning messenger). The word describes something that acts as a messenger or intermediary between two parties.

Memory Tip

Think of a messenger that operates 'between' ('inter-') two points — that's what internuncial means.
