Morphology
intervisibility = visibility (transparent) = inter + visible + ity
The word is formed by straightforward prefixation of 'inter-' to the noun 'visibility', yielding 'visibility between points'.
Etymology
Intervisibility joins inter- ('between') and visible ('able to be seen'). So it means how well two places can see each other, like two radio towers on hills that need a clear view to send signals.
