If you think about it, calling it the Interweb kindof makes sense. Here's why:

The Internet is simply the hardware backbone that connects computers in a vast network.

The World Wide Web is what most people are talking about when they discuss the internet though.

The Internet itself isn't very interesting without the World Wide Web.

So if you combine the words "Internet" and "World Wide Web", you get "Interweb"
