Morphology

interchain = chain (transparent) = inter + chain

Literal composition 'inter-' + 'chain' yields 'a link between chains', which is directly guessable.

Etymology

Interchain comes from inter- 'between' and chain 'a series of links', so an interchain is a physical link or connector that joins two chains in a machine.
