multistateadj.

Brit.

/ˈmʌltɪsteɪt/, U.S.

/ˌməltiˈsteɪt/; see also multi- comb. form.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: multi- comb. form, state n.

Etymology: < multi- comb. form + state n. With sense 1 compare earlier interstate adj. and n., intra-state adj. at intra- prefix 3. With sense 2 compare two-state adj. at two adj., n., and adv. Compounds 2.

1. Extending over, relating to, or involving a number of the states of a union, federation, etc. (esp. of the United States or Australia), or a number of independent states.

2000 Washington Times (Electronic ed.) 9 Nov. South Dakotans also OK'd an increase in the maximum bets at Deadwood casinos from $5 to $100, and Coloradans narrowly elected to join a multistate lottery.
