Morphology
intersubjectivity = intersubjective (semi-transparent) = inter + subject + ity
Formed from 'intersubjective' + '-ity' in a regular way, but the base adjective is a technical term so the derived noun's exact philosophical meaning may not be obvious to average learners.
Etymology
The word intersubjectivity combines inter- meaning 'between' and subject meaning 'person' or 'topic', and a helpful way to remember it is to think of it as what happens 'between people' who share ideas; so intersubjectivity is the shared understanding that makes communication and social interaction possible.
