Adjoining

Adjoining

Touching, as distinguished from being merely close to or adjacent. adjoining and abutting are at present often used as if they were synonymous. However, it is recommended that the old distinction be retained where possible. Two parcels adjoin if they have a common side; they abut if they have a common end. (2) Close to. This usage is improper but, fortunately, rare.
