Interceptions is the plural of interception, and its final -s is pronounced /z/. Connect inter-, meaning “between,” with the idea of taking something while it is moving between a sender and a receiver. Picture either radio signals being secretly caught or a defender taking an opponent’s pass. Useful patterns include radio interceptions, interceptions of data, and make two interceptions. Unlike an ordinary reception, an interception interrupts the intended path and transfers the message, data, or ball to someone else.

interceptions の語源・成り立ち Etymology
interceptions は interception の複数形で、ラテン語 inter-「間に」+ capere「取る」に由来します。つまり「間に入って取る」が原義で、傍受や横取りの意味に自然につながります。capture や receive も同じ capere 系です.
Interceptions is the plural of interception. Interception entered English through Latin interceptio, related to intercipere, “to seize or interrupt,” formed from inter-, “between,” and capere, “to take.” The underlying image is of taking something while it is between its starting point and destination. The same Latin verb capere also lies behind English words such as capture, although the words developed through different forms.
