| | interrete/internetum | Explanation:
I am glad you asked, as this example illustrates the mechanisms of Modern Latin.
In the first instance (interrete,-is), Latin provides the whole morphological bag of goodies: inter+rete (net).
In the alternative translation (internetum), Latin provides the ending –um,-i, thus assigning the new term to the Second Nominal Declension.
