Two things that are adjacent to each other are in contact with each other without overlapping. Examples are adjacent apartments, adjacent states, and adjacent sides of a polygon.
The word adjacent as used in the definitions of the cosine and tangent trigonometric functions can be a little confusing because, obviously, it takes two sides to make an angle in a polygon, so, technically, you could say that each angle is adjacent to two sides. When trig functions refer to the side adjacent to one of the acute angles in a right triangle, they are referring to the one that's not the hypotenuse, or, in other words, the one that is also adjacent to the right angle.
