Morphology

internetwork = network (transparent) = inter + network

The meaning is directly compositional: 'inter-' means between or among, and 'network' supplies the core idea of connecting computer systems.

Etymology

The word internetwork combines the prefix inter- 'between' and the common word network, so it means 'to make networks connect with each other'. So, to internetwork is to connect separate computer networks so devices on them can share data.
