Morphology
extrinsic = intrinsic (opaque) = ex + trinsic
The prefix 'ex-' suggests 'out' or 'outside', but 'trinsic' is not a standalone English word, making the derivation opaque.
Etymology
The word extrinsic comes from the part extra- meaning 'outside', the same 'extra' you know in words like extra or external. So something extrinsic is 'from outside' and not an essential part of the thing itself.
