Morphology
immanent = im + manent
Although formally analyzable as im- + manent, 'manent' is not a standalone English base and the meaning 'existing within/inherent' is not reliably derivable by an average B1 learner from the parts.
Etymology
The word immanent comes from Latin parts in- 'in' and manere 'to stay', the same root you see in the English word remain. So, something immanent 'stays inside' or is a part of something, not added from outside.
