Morphology

interoffice = office (transparent) = inter + office

The meaning is directly built from 'inter-' meaning 'between' and 'office', referring to communication between offices.

Etymology

As a noun, interoffice joins inter- 'between' and office 'workplace' to name the mail or messages that go 'between offices' inside one company. So interoffice usually means the internal mail system or the messages sent around the company.
