Morphology

intercommunity = community (transparent) = inter + community

The adjective is directly formed by the productive prefix 'inter-' meaning 'between' added to the noun 'community', yielding the straightforward meaning 'between communities'.

Etymology

Intercommunity is made of inter- meaning 'between', as in international, and community meaning 'a group of people who live together or share something'. So intercommunity describes actions or relations that happen 'between' different communities.
