Morphology

interclass = class (transparent) = inter + class

The meaning 'between classes' is directly and predictably derived from the productive prefix 'inter-' plus 'class'.

Etymology

Interclass is made of the part inter- meaning 'between' (as in international) and class meaning 'group' or 'social level'. So interclass describes things that happen 'between classes', for example differences in income or access to resources.
