Morphology
interindividual = individual (transparent) = inter + individual
The prefix 'inter-' meaning 'between' combines directly with 'individual' to give the clear meaning 'between individuals'.
Etymology
Interindividual joins the part inter- meaning 'between' and individual meaning 'single person', so it means 'between different individuals' and is used when we compare or talk about people.
