Morphology
intercept = inter + cept
Although the prefix 'inter-' is recognizable, the bound root '-cept' is not an independent English word, and the mathematical sense 'point where a graph crosses an axis' is not predictable for most learners from the parts alone.
Etymology
Intercept comes from the Latin parts inter- 'between' and capere 'to take', so it originally meant 'take between'. In math, the intercept is the point where a line meets an axis, so the origin helps you remember it is where the line crosses the axis.
