where every path agrees to disagree, then politely takes turns.
means A point or place where two or more things—roads, lines, sets, or ideas—meet and cross.
from From Latin 'intersectio,' built from 'inter-' (between) and 'secare' (to cut)—literally a 'cutting between.' That same 'secare' slices its way into 'section,' 'dissect,' and 'sector,' all sharing the sense of something divided by a blade. By the 1500s English had borrowed the word for any crossing or cutting-through; the familiar traffic-light sense, where roads cut across one another, is a later everyday application.
