Morphology
intermedial = intermediate (transparent) = inter + medi + al
The word 'intermedial' is derived from 'intermediate' with the suffix '-al' forming an adjective.
Etymology
Intermedial comes from inter- meaning 'between' and media meaning 'forms or tools for communication', the same 'media' in 'the news media' or an 'art medium'. So, something intermedial mixes or works 'between' different media, like a dance with video or a painting with sound.
