Morphology

interrater = rater (semi-transparent) = inter + rater

Formally inter- + rater is clear, but the gloss 'a statistic/measure' cannot be derived from these components without the collocate (e.g., 'reliability'); this is a technical shorthand.

Etymology

Interrater comes from inter- 'between' and rater from rate 'to judge' or 'score'. Think of the noun meaning as a 'score for agreement between judges' — a high interrater means different observers give similar ratings.
