Root Explanation

Interorbital → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "orbital" (from Latin "orbita", meaning a path or track). The term "interorbital" refers to the space or area between the orbits, typically in a biological or anatomical context.

Memory Tip

Think of something that exists 'between' ('inter-') the 'paths' ('orbital') of the eyes — that's what interorbital means.
