Morphology
interstitial = interstice (semi-transparent) = inter + stice + al
The noun use inherits the adjective's meaning, but the advertising sense is specialized and not fully predictable from the base alone.
Etymology
Interstitial comes from the parts inter- 'between' and a root like stand, so it literally means 'between things'. A helpful way to remember the ad meaning is to think of an interstitial ad as one that appears 'between' screens or pieces of content.
