inline positive

Morphology

inline = line (semi-transparent) = in + line

The idea of being 'in a line' is clear, but the specialized sense 'embedded within the main body of text or content' is an extended technical use rather than a fully predictable literal meaning. [Postprocessing: moved 'in' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Inline is simply in + line, which gives the sense 'in a line' or 'inside the main text'. So when something is inline, it sits directly in the row or inside the text instead of being separate.
