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.

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 ... |
