intersecond
التعريفات والمعاني
== English ==
=== Etymology ===
From inter- + second. A recent coinage; see usage notes.
=== Adjective ===
intersecond (not comparable)
(nonstandard) Between the members of the second pair of specified things (such as premolars or molars).
==== Usage notes ====
The adjectives interfirst and intersecond in reference to teeth (premolars or molars) are rarely used nonstandard forms born of editorial errors. They arise from compound constructions such as /inter + first molar + distance/ (the distance between the first molars in a given dental arch) that undergo a copyeditorial error in which a general rule to remove unnecessary hyphens from prefixes that don't need them is misapplied to a term where multiple hyphens or an en dash should have been used: either inter-first-molar distance (two hyphens) or inter–first molar distance (one en dash).
