Morphology
intersectional = intersection (semi-transparent) = inter + sect + ion + al
The adjective is transparently built from 'intersection', but the social-science sense is a specialized metaphorical extension from physical crossing or overlap.
Etymology
Intersectional comes from intersection, a place where roads or lines cross, and from inter- 'between' and section 'part'. So, intersectional describes how different parts of a person's identity, such as race, gender and class, cross and work together to shape their experience.
