How Inner
Surface Forms
Morphology
inner = (semi-transparent) = in + er
The relation to 'in' is recognizable, but '-er' here is an older comparative or relational ending rather than a fully productive modern pattern. [Postprocessing: moved 'in' from base_words to prefix]
Etymology
Inner comes from the old prefix in- which means 'in' or 'inside', the same root as inside. So inner means something 'located inside' or closer to the center.
