Morphology

interfold = fold (transparent) = inter + fold

The meaning is directly derived from 'inter-' (between/among) and 'fold' (to bend over), describing something folded and interleaved with others.

Etymology

Interfold is a single sheet folded into the next so you can pull one out at a time. The parts inter- 'between' and fold 'to bend' help you remember that an interfold sits between other sheets and comes out one by one.
