What does the prefix "inter-" imply in a word?

  1. Within

  2. Among, between

  3. Through

  4. Around

The correct answer is: Among, between

The prefix "inter-" is derived from Latin, meaning "between" or "among." It is commonly used in various words to indicate a relationship or interaction that occurs between multiple entities. For instance, in words like "international," it denotes connections or relationships between nations. Similarly, "interact" signifies the action that takes place between individuals or groups. This prefix clearly emphasizes the concept of relational proximity and interaction, making "among" or "between" the most accurate interpretation in terms of what the prefix conveys.
