adjoin
This term describes a precise physical relationship where two entities share a common border or wall. It is most frequently used in architectural, legal, or geographical contexts to describe the layout of properties, rooms, or territories. The focus is on the shared boundary rather than mere proximity.
While "adjacent" is a broader term meaning "nearby," "adjoin" specifically implies that the two things are touching. For example, two rooms that share a wall adjoin, whereas two houses separated by a small alley are adjacent but do not adjoin.
