Morphology

interhuman = human (transparent) = inter + human

The prefix 'inter-' clearly indicates a relationship or occurrence between entities, and when combined with 'human', it directly conveys the meaning of 'between humans'.

Etymology

Interhuman comes from the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and human meaning 'person' or 'people', like in international ('between nations') or interact ('act between'). So interhuman is used for things that happen 'between people'.
