Surface Forms
Morphology
interoperable = interoperate (transparent) = inter + operate + interoperate + able
The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-able' to the verb 'interoperate', and its meaning follows directly from inter- + operate + -able.
Etymology
Interoperable comes from the parts inter- meaning 'between', operate meaning 'to work', and -able meaning 'can'. So, interoperable describes systems or devices that can 'work with each other' and share information.
