This must be an example of that "language evolution" you alluded to.

Oh, if only it were true.
Merriam-Webster Online definition for "inter-"

Look at definition 8. Eleventh line down.

Ack! Ick! Eek! Egads!

Sigh. What's the world coming to? (Please don't answer that, btw.)

[Tho' yeah, I was layin' it on a little thick. This is what happens when one absentmindedly changes one's locution halfway through. The inclusion of mutual was excessive, needless, unnecessary, redundant, gratuitous, and superfluous.]

I don't know about the others here, but I'm enjoying it. BTW, you left out "surplus", "extraneous", "nonessential", "dispensable", "exorbitant", "extravagant", "untempered", and "overboard". And combined that's less than half the synonyms ...
