Morphology
intersect = inter + sect
Formed from the prefix 'inter-' (between) + the bound root '-sect' (cut), but '-sect' is not a standalone English word so learners must rely on related words (e.g., section, bisect) to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word intersect comes from the parts inter- ('between') and sect ('to cut'), the same sect you see in section. So to intersect is like two lines 'cutting between' each other — they cross or meet at one point.
