Etymology
Intergalactic starts with inter- meaning 'between' and ends with galactic, which comes from the same root as galaxy, a Greek word for 'milk' that gives us the name 'Milky Way'. So intergalactic literally means 'between galaxies' and is used for things that exist or happen across different galaxies.
