Morphology

intermodule = module (transparent) = inter + module

The meaning is a straightforward combination of the productive prefix 'inter-' ('between') and the noun 'module', yielding 'relating to or occurring between modules'.

Etymology

Intermodule comes from the prefix inter- 'between', as in international, and module 'part' or 'unit', so it literally means 'between parts'. So, as an adjective, it describes something that happens or exists between modules, like cables or links that connect them.
