Surface Forms
Morphology
external = extern (transparent) = extern + al
The meaning 'located or coming from outside' is a direct, compositional result of 'extern' + '-al'.
Etymology
The word external comes from the Latin externus meaning 'outside' and the prefix ex- meaning 'out', the same idea you see in exterior. So an external door or an external injury is one that is on the 'outside' of a place or body.
