Morphology

intravascular = vascular (transparent) = intra + vascular + intra

The meaning is directly derived by prefixation of 'intra-' (within) to 'vascular' (relating to blood vessels), yielding 'within blood vessels'.

Etymology

Intravascular breaks into intra- meaning 'inside' and vascular from a word for a 'vessel' or tube for blood. So intravascular means 'located inside a blood vessel'.
