UX is an umbrella of all the disciplines and practices required to design a
product, service, solution.
IxD, Usability Research, HCI, IA, Visual Design, Information Design,
Industrial Design, Ethnographic Research, etc. all fall under that umbrella.
Some may even say Informatics and Business Analysis fall under it as well.
It is a wide umbrella with a lot of room for everyone.

Just like IxD and IA have overlap so does IndDes and IxD; and for that
matter IA and IndDes.
