The word "adjoin" is spelled /əˈdʒɔɪn/ in IPA phonetic transcription. This word is commonly used to describe the act of connecting or bordering something, usually in a spatial sense. The spelling of "adjoin" is straightforward: it starts with the prefix "ad-" which means "to" or "towards", and is followed by "join" which means "to connect or link".

ADJOIN Meaning and Definition

1. The verb "adjoin" refers to the act of connecting or attaching two things, typically by placing them side by side or in close proximity. It involves the joining of objects, spaces, or areas, either physically or metaphorically. When two or more things adjoin, they become adjacent or next to each other, creating a continuous or seamless connection.

   In a physical context, "adjoin" often describes the joining of two or more physical entities, such as land, buildings, or rooms. For example, when a new building is constructed and it shares a common wall with an existing structure, we say that the new building adjoins the old one. Similarly, two adjacent fields or properties that share a common boundary or fence can be said to adjoin one another.

   The term can also be used figuratively to describe non-physical connections or relationships. For instance, two ideas or concepts may adjoin when they are closely related or interconnected. In this sense, "adjoin" is used to convey a sense of proximity and connection, without necessarily indicating a physical attachment.

   Overall, "adjoin" is a versatile verb that represents the act of connecting or bringing things together, either physically or metaphorically, highlighting their close proximity and relationship.

2. To lie next to; to lie close to.

Etymology of ADJOIN

The word adjoin comes from the Old French word ajoindre, which in turn is derived from the Latin word adiungere. Adiungere is a combination of the prefix ad, meaning to or toward, and the verb iungere, meaning to join or to connect. Ultimately, the origin can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root yeug, meaning to join or to unite.
