Morphology
interconnected = interconnect (transparent) = inter + connect + ed
Formed from the productive prefix 'inter-' + 'connect', with '-ed' creating the adjectival/past-participle; the meaning is directly deducible.
Etymology
The word interconnected comes from the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and the word connect meaning 'to join'. So something interconnected has parts joined to each other, like a net, and that is why a change in one part can affect the others.
