designating the angle between any two faces of a crystal or a crystal form
interfacial in American English
(ˌintərˈfeiʃəl)
adjective
1.
included between two faces
2.
of, pertaining to, or of the nature of an interface
Word origin
[1830–40; inter- + facial]This word is first recorded in the period 1830–40. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: ante, baby talk, grid, isomerism, showcaseinter- 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)
