Morphology

intraday = day (transparent) = intra + day

The prefix 'intra-' meaning 'within' combined with 'day' clearly conveys the meaning of 'within the same day'.

Etymology

The word intraday joins intra- meaning 'within' and day meaning 'one day'. So, intraday describes something that happens 'within the same day', like the price moves traders watch on a single day's chart.
