Definition
重合 (chónghé) means 'to coincide' or 'to overlap' — used for physical objects (shapes, lines) or abstract things (ideas, schedules). It differs from 交叉 (jiāochā), which means lines or roads 'cross' at a point; 重合 implies full or partial covering, not just meeting. 巧合 (qiǎohé) is an adjective meaning 'coincidental' (an event, not an action).
