Morphology

intersystem = system (transparent) = inter + system

Meaning is directly derived from the productive prefix 'inter-' (between) plus 'system', so 'between systems' is easily inferable.

Etymology

Intersystem joins inter- ('between') and system ('a set of parts that work together'), like in internet where inter- means 'between'. So, as an adjective it describes something that happens 'between systems', such as an interface or interaction connecting two networks.
