Morphology
introjected = introject (semi-transparent) = intro + ject + ed
The formation from the verb 'introject' + '-ed' is regular, but 'introject' is a technical psychological verb formed from intro- + -ject, so the full meaning ('unconsciously internalized') is specialized and may not be obvious to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word introjected comes from intro- meaning 'into' and -ject meaning 'to throw', so it is like ideas 'thrown into' someone. Think of it like inject, which means 'to put a liquid into something', so an introjected belief is one that was put inside you, often without you noticing it.
