'pertaining to the intercourse of nations'

I assume this is from Websters 1913 if not older. It's very dated as is likely to confuse readers (it confused me) as intercourse means sex and nowadays it's not used with any other meaning. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:16, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Of or concerning the association called the International

Never heard of it. But that aside, sounds like a definition of International. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:17, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
