Etymology
'interoperability' originates from the combination of 'inter-' meaning 'between' and 'operate' meaning 'to work or function'.
'interoperate' transformed into 'interoperability' to describe the quality or state of being interoperable.
Initially, it referred to the ability to operate between systems, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
