Surface Forms

within positive

Morphology

within = (semi-transparent) = with + in

The components 'with' and 'in' are visible, but 'with' does not contribute its usual meaning 'accompanied by' so learners may not perfectly predict the sense 'inside'. [Postprocessing: moved 'with', 'in' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Within comes from old English parts with and in, which you can imagine as 'with in' or together inside. So to be within something is to be 'inside' it.
