Morphology

intragroup = group (transparent) = intra + group

The meaning 'within a group' follows directly from the prefix 'intra-' ('within') combined with 'group', so the relation is directly inferable.

Etymology

Intragroup comes from the prefix intra- meaning 'within' and the everyday word group meaning a set of people or things. So intragroup describes something that happens 'within' a group, not between different groups.
