Morphology

interframe = frame (transparent) = inter + frame

A literal 'between-frames' spacer is directly derived from the productive prefix 'inter-' and 'frame', so the composition is clear.

Etymology

Interframe comes from the parts inter- 'between' and frame, so it means a part placed 'between' the main frames of a machine or building. That's why an interframe is a spacer or support that sits between two frames to keep the structure stable.
