Morphology

interlaced = interlace (transparent) = interlace + ed

Formed from the verb 'interlace' plus the participial/adjectival suffix '-ed', the meaning 'woven together' follows directly from the base verb.

Etymology

The word interlaced comes from the part inter- meaning 'between' and the word lace, like a shoelace. Think of things 'tied between' each other that cross over and under, which is why an interlaced pattern looks woven together.
