adjacent
word
Definition
Something that is adjacent is next to or very close to something else, often sharing a border or side.
Usage & Nuances
'Adjacent' is formal; common with technical, legal, real estate, or spatial contexts ('adjacent rooms', 'adjacent property'). Not the same as 'opposite' or just 'near'—it means directly next to. Do not use with things separated by an obvious gap.
