Morphology

intercommunicate = communicate (transparent) = inter + communicate

The verb is formed by adding the productive prefix 'inter-' ('between/among') to 'communicate', yielding the straightforward meaning 'exchange with each other'.

Etymology

Intercommunicate comes from the parts inter- meaning 'between' and communicate meaning 'to share', the same root you see in community and communicate. So to intercommunicate is to 'share' ideas or feelings back and forth between people.
