Morphology
interfascicular = fascicular (transparent) = inter + fascicul + ar
The prefix 'inter-' clearly indicates 'between', making the meaning of 'interfascicular' as 'between fascicles' transparent.
Etymology
The word interfascicular breaks into inter- 'between' and fascic- 'bundle', a small group of fibers. So it means 'between bundles' and is used for parts that sit between bundles of fibers in plants or muscles.
