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, keeping the idea of being 'inside' a place, time, or limit. That's why saying 'within three days' means 'not beyond' those three days.
