Morphology

interrater = rater (transparent) = inter + rater

The formation is directly inter- ('between') + rater ('one who rates'), yielding 'between raters' which is clear to learners.

Etymology

Interrater comes from the prefix inter- meaning 'between' and rater from rate meaning 'to judge' or 'score'. So as an adjective, interrater describes the agreement or consistency 'between' different people who judge the same thing.
