词源
from Old French entre- or Latin inter 'between, among'.
inter-, prefixThe Latin preposition and adv., inter ‘between, among, amid, in between, in the midst’, entered into combination with verbs, adjs., and ns., as in intercēdĕre to go between, intercede, intercipĕre to seize on the way, intercept, interdīcĕre to interpose in speech, interdict, interjacĕre to throw between, interject, interpōnĕre to put between, interpose, intervenīre to come between, intervene, intercalāris intercalary, interdigitālis lying between the fingers, interfluus flowing between, intermedius intermediate, intermūrālis between walls; interamnium a place between rivers, intercilium the space between the eyebrows, intercolumnium the space between two columns, internuntius a messenger between, interregnum the time between two reigns, intervallum the space between two ramparts, interval. Some of these uses received great extension in late L. and the Romanic languages.Of all these classes representatives are found in English, the earlier derived through French, the later often immediately from Latin. The Fr. form of the prefix is entre-, and it was with entre- or enter-, as in entrechange, entercourse, enterfere, that these words were taken into ME., and new compounds formed in Eng. itself: see enter-. But, between the 15th and 17th centuries, entre-, enter- gradually yielded to the L. inter-; entertain and enterprise, with their derivatives, being now the only relics of the earlier form. On the pattern of the words from L., many new derivatives have been formed from L. (or Gr.) elements: esp. the adjs. formed on the type (rare in L.) of inter-mūr-ālis: see 4 below.In some cases English received from Latin and French both the simple word and its inter- compound: such are change, inter-change, commune, inter-commune, view, inter-view, column, inter-column. By extension from such compounds, inter- became a living prefix, freely used to form new compounds upon verbs, nouns, and adjs., not merely of Latin and French, but of native English origin, as in inter-twine, inter-talk, inter-brain, inter-tidal. Finally, the same process which produced such adjs. as anti-slavery, anti-vaccination, anti-war (see anti- 4), has produced the adjs. inter-college, inter-island, inter-town, inter-university.The following are the uses of the prefix as an English formative element.I. In adverbial or adjectival relation to the second element.1. Prefixed to verbs, participles, vbl. ns., and ppl. adjs., to form verbs, etc.These are entered here in the uninflected form as verbs, but some of them are exemplified only in the form of participles or vbl. ns. As a rule, wherever there is a verb compounded with inter-, the usual derivatives (vbl. n. and ppl. a. in -ing, agent-n. in -er) are possible. Some of the verbs may be regarded as formed from ns., e.g. intercloud, -dash, -layer, -mesh, -net, -word. The stress is on the radical element.a. Denoting ‘Between or among other things or persons; between the parts of, in the intervals of, or in the midst of, something; together with; between times or places, at intervals, here and there’: as interbreathe (interbreathing vbl. n.), inter-chase, inter-check, inter-circle, inter-cloud, inter-come, inter-crust, inter-curl, inter-dash, inter-distinguish (also interdistinguishable adj.), inter-file (interfiling vbl. n.), inter-fillet, inter-flash, inter-forge, inter-gild (in pa. pple. inter-gilt), inter-insert, inter-involve, inter-layer, inter-lie (in pres. pple. inter-lying), inter-lighten, inter-lot, inter-mention, inter-pave, inter-peal, inter-receive, inter-rule, inter-set, † inter-situate, inter-smile, inter-sole, inter-squeeze, inter-tinge, inter-trace, inter-whistle, inter-word. With an intr. verb, inter- sometimes stands in prepositional relation to a following noun, the verb thus becoming trans. with the noun as obj.; as interwend (to wend or pass between).Such formations with enter- are found in 15th c., and with inter- from 16th c.: cf. interplace.

De Quincey (Logic Pol. Econ., 1844, 18 note) says: ‘The late Mr. Coleridge suggested, and by his own example sanctioned, the use of the preposition inter for expressing cases of reciprocal action, or, in his language, of interaction. Thus the verb interpenetrate, when predicated of the substances A and B, implied that by an equal action and reaction, each penetrated the other..But, even as a justifiable English usage, it may be found occasionally in Shakespeare, and much more frequently in Daniel, a writer of the same age’.

Cavalcanti in Films Nov. The *intertitles all bore the picture of a candle behind the printed words.1971N.Y. Times 19 Dec. 13/2 Intrusive intertitles and similar devices keep hitting you in the face.1987D. Clandfield Canad. Film iv. 58 In the period of silent films translated versions were easy to provide: intertitles often appeared in both French and English consecutively during the same projection.2002Sight & Sound Apr. 72/3 As no attempt has been made to replicate the aesthetic feel of the originals, I personally experienced the switch to each intertitle as a break in the flow of the film.
inter-
Latin inter (prep., adv.) "among, between, betwixt, in the midst of," from PIE *enter "between, among" (cognates: Sanskrit antar, Old Persian antar "among, between," Greek entera (plural) "intestines," Old Irish eter, Old Welsh ithr "among, between," Gothic undar, Old English under "under"), a comparative of *en "in" (see in). Also in certain Latin phrases in English, such as inter alia "among other things." A living prefix in English from 15c. Spelled entre- in French, most words borrowed into English in that form were re-spelled 16c. to conform with Latin except entertain, enterprise.
inter- /ˈɪntə/ combining form.
ORIGIN: Repr. Old French & Modern French inter-, entre- (cf. enter-1) or its source Latin inter-, from inter (preposition & adverb) between, among, amid, in between, in the midst.
