Morphology

interline = line (transparent) = inter + line

Formed by prefixing 'inter-' to 'line' to denote 'between lines' (i.e., spacing), which is a direct and regular semantic composition.

Etymology

The word interline comes from the parts inter- 'between' and line 'line'. So interline can mean the space 'between the lines', which designers change to make text easier to read.
