The noun is a regular suffixation of the verb 'interpolate', but the mathematical sense is a technical specialization of 'inserting/estimating between' and may not be fully predictable to all learners.
Etymology
Interpolation comes from the Latin parts inter- meaning 'between' and a root that meant 'to change or touch up', so it originally meant putting something into a space. In math, this became the idea of 'filling in' a gap by estimating a value that sits 'between' two known values.
