How Intertextual
Surface Forms
Morphology
intertextual = intertext (transparent) = inter + text + ual
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ual' to 'intertext', which itself transparently means 'between texts', so the derivation directly yields 'relating to relationships between texts'.
Etymology
Intertextual comes from the parts inter- meaning 'between' and text meaning 'written words', the same text you see in textbook. So intertextual describes a kind of 'conversation' between texts, when one book, film, or article uses or refers to another to give extra meaning.
