Morphology
intergenerational = generational (transparent) = inter + generation + al
Formed by prefixing 'inter-' to 'generational' (generation + -al); the meaning 'between generations' in social or policy contexts is a direct application of the base meaning.
Etymology
Intergenerational comes from inter- 'between' and generation 'a group born around the same time'. So it is used for ideas, rules, or responsibilities that are about fairness and relations 'between' different age groups, for example policies that affect both today's adults and future generations.
