Where did they get the name Interociter from the science fiction device in This Island Earth?

My guess it might have been a real code name for some sort of remote or somewhat robotic device that would correspond to a remotely controlled Permissive action Link- that might have built in auto-destruct and other features ( the TV element in the Inerociter would not be photographable) as a sort of spy or surveillance device. Interociter was the name. let us see Interrogator ( as used with, say Radar or code transponders) and ociter- added to give a sort of official-sounding name. The device figured in the landmark film This Island Earth. Who knows, may have been based in part on something the pentagon had.

What is Science fiction and science facts?
In some cases real science and technology has been inspired by science-fiction devices. Everybody quotes rockets and such like but what about miniature two-way radios- which have evolved into cell phones, like the wallet-radios used in Star Trek. Another example are the so-called manned robots which had a constant earth-type atmosphere and presumably muscle-amplifiers. These were quite common as a science-fiction prop- but were later revived in real life as designs for deep-space suits and also- deep-diving gear. One such device is called the JIM suit. No it is not found in the sporting goods department! so it goes.
