Morphology

intraverbal = verbal (semi-transparent) = intra + verb + al

The form is clearly built from intra- + verbal, but the specialized behavioral term is not fully predictable for an average learner.

Etymology

Intraverbal comes from intra- 'within' and verbal 'word' (think of verb). So an intraverbal is a verbal reply made because of other words, not because of objects or direct events.
