Morphology
interrelated = interrelate (transparent) = inter + relate + ed
The step from 'interrelate' to 'interrelated' is a regular adjectival (past-participial) formation and adds no semantic opacity.
Etymology
Interrelated starts with inter- which means 'between', as in international, and includes relate which means 'to connect'. So, interrelated describes things that are connected to each other, where each one can affect or depend on the others.
