Morphology

intrapersonal = personal (transparent) = intra + person + al

The adjective is formed by prefixing 'intra-' (within) to the common adjective 'personal', yielding the meaning 'within the person'.

Etymology

Intrapersonal is made of intra- 'inside' and personal 'of a person', so it means the thoughts and feelings that happen inside you.
