Morphology

endopsychic = psychic (semi-transparent) = endo + psychic

Formally 'endo-' (within) + 'psychic' (relating to the mind) yields 'internal to the mind', but 'endo-' is a technical combining form and 'psychic' can be ambiguous for learners, so full transparency is limited.

Etymology

Endopsychic comes from the first part endo- meaning 'within' and psychic from psyche meaning 'mind', the same part you see in psychology. So endopsychic describes processes or experiences that happen 'inside the mind'.
