a process in which two things are each converted into the other, often as the resultof chemical or physical activity
interconversion in American English
(ˌintərkənˈvɜːrʒən, -ʃən)
noun
conversion of each of two things into the other; reciprocal conversion
Word origin
[1860–65; inter- + conversion]This word is first recorded in the period 1860–65. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: big brother, institutionalism, jumping jack, monism, prepinter- is a prefix occurring in loanwords from Latin, where it meant “between,” “among,”“in the midst of,” “mutually,” “reciprocally,” “together,” “during” (intercept; interest). On this model, inter- is used in the formation of compound words (intercom; interdepartmental)
