Morphology
interdisciplinary = disciplinary (transparent) = inter + discipline + ary
Adding the productive prefix 'inter-' to 'disciplinary' straightforwardly yields 'between or among disciplines', which learners can derive.
Etymology
Interdisciplinary combines inter- meaning 'between' and discipline meaning 'a field of study or subject'. So, interdisciplinary describes work or study that happens 'between' different subjects, like a project that brings scientists and artists together.
