interfold positive

Morphology

interfold = fold (transparent) = inter + fold

Meaning is directly built from the productive prefix 'inter-' (between/among) + 'fold' (to bend/layer), referring to layers folded and interleaved.

Etymology

Interfold describes paper or tissues folded so the sheets fit between each other for easy one-at-a-time use. It comes from inter- 'between' and fold 'to bend', so interfold packs let you pull one sheet while the next is ready.
