Root Explanation

Intervisibility → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "visibility" (from Latin "visibilis", meaning able to be seen). The word describes the condition of being able to see one another from different locations, hence, visibility between places.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to see 'between' ('inter-') different locations — that's what intervisibility means.
