Morphology

inlander = inland (transparent) = inland + er

The noun is formed regularly from 'inland' + '-er' to mean a person associated with inland areas.

Etymology

The word inlander breaks into in- meaning 'in', land meaning 'land', and -er meaning 'person', so imagine someone who lives 'in the land' away from the sea, the opposite of an islander. So an inlander is a person, animal, or plant that lives in the interior of a country, far from the coast.
