Morphology

interchain = chain (transparent) = inter + chain

Clearly formed from the productive prefix 'inter-' ('between') + 'chain', meaning 'between chains' in the blockchain context.

Etymology

Interchain comes from the prefix inter- 'between' and chain 'a series of links', so it describes something that happens between two or more chains; for example, in blockchain it means operations or transfers that go between different blockchains.
