Morphology

intraclass = class (transparent) = intra + class

The prefix 'intra-' clearly indicates 'within', making the meaning of 'intraclass' straightforward as 'within the same class'.

Etymology

Intraclass is made from the part intra- meaning 'within' and the common word class meaning 'group' or 'grade'. So an intraclass difference or competition happens inside the same class or group, not between different groups.
