Morphology
inbetweener = in-between (transparent) = in-between + er
Formed by adding a productive agentive suffix '-er' to the lexicalized adjective 'in-between', yielding 'one who is in an intermediate state'.
Etymology
Inbetweener comes from in + between + -er, literally someone 'in the middle' between two things. That's why an inbetweener is a person or thing that does not fully belong to either group and often 'bridges' the gap between them.
