Morphology

intercoder = coder (transparent) = inter + code + er

The adjective is formed straightforwardly from 'coder' with the prefix 'inter-' meaning between or among, so the relation to two or more coders is easy to recover.

Etymology

Intercoder is made of inter- ('between') and coder (someone who labels or codes data), the same inter- you see in international. So, as an adjective, intercoder describes agreement or difference 'between' two or more coders.
