Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym入り混じるいりまじるNeutralFor various things being mixed in together; unlike 「交錯」 it lacks the nuance of separate strands or feelings crossing one another.
  • Synonym混ざるまざるNeutralSomething else gets mixed in, or you join a crowd; it views one element entering the whole, not strands crossing as in 「交錯」.
  • Synonym混合こんごうWrittenWritten/formal prose. Different-natured things mixed together; use it in writing, where 「交錯」 would stress crossing strands.
  • Synonym混じり合うまじりあうNeutralThings blend into one another; the focus is on mutual mingling, without the sense of crossing that 「交錯」 carries.
  • Synonym混ざり合うまざりあうNeutralMixed together so thoroughly that distinctions disappear; the emphasis is on becoming indistinguishable, not on crossing.
  • Related混成こんせいWrittenWritten/formal. Different kinds combined into one, as in 「混成チーム」; it is about forming a mixed unit, not about crossing.

Use 「交錯」 for strands, feelings or information crossing and interweaving, as in 「期待と不安が交錯する」 or 「光と影の交錯」. For ordinary mixing say 「混じり合う」 or 「入り混じる」; in written prose 「混合」 fits.
