Morphology
intraepithelial = epithelial (semi-transparent) = intra + epithelial
The prefix 'intra-' means 'within', but the specialized term 'epithelial' may not be fully transparent to all learners.
Etymology
The word intraepithelial breaks into intra- 'within' and epithelial from epithelium, the thin 'layer of cells' that covers the body or lines organs like a simple 'skin'. So intraepithelial describes something located 'within' that thin cell layer.
