Morphology
intersubjectively = intersubjective (semi-transparent) = inter + subject + ive + ly
The adverbial -ly is a straightforward derivation, but 'intersubjective' is somewhat technical and its exact meaning is not fully predictable from 'inter-' + 'subjective' for average learners.
Etymology
The word intersubjectively comes from inter- 'between' and subject 'person or point of view', so it means something shared 'between people'. That's why when we say something is done intersubjectively, we mean it is agreed on or understood by more than one person.
