Morphology
internal = intern + al
The technical software sense ('for use within a module') is a direct extension of 'inside/within' plus '-al', so learners can reasonably infer the meaning from components.
Etymology
Internal comes from Latin internus (from inter-), which gives the idea of being 'inside' or not for the outside, much like interior. So in software, an internal feature is meant to stay 'inside' the same program or module, not to be used by outside code.
