Morphology

interlinkage = interlink (transparent) = inter + link + age

The noun is a regular '-age' derivation from the verb 'interlink' denoting the action or result of linking.

Etymology

Interlinkage is built from inter- meaning 'between', link meaning a 'connection', and -age showing an 'action or result'. So interlinkage is the linking 'between' things — connections that make the parts affect each other.
