Morphology

interspatial = spatial (semi-transparent) = inter + space + ial

The relation 'inter-' (between) + 'spatial' (relating to space) is a straightforward, productive prefixation.

Etymology

Interspatial combines the prefix inter- ('between') and spatial from space ('area'), so it means 'between spaces' — like the small gap or area between two rooms or objects. That's why interspatial describes something that exists or happens between different spaces.
