Morphology

innards = innard (semi-transparent) = innard + s

The plural -s is a transparent pluralization, but the stem 'innard' contains an archaic/less-transparent element (-ard), so while the overall sense 'internal parts' is guessable from 'in-', the stem morphology is not fully transparent to learners.

Etymology

Innards comes from the part in- meaning 'inside' and is like the simple word inner. So your innards are the inner parts or 'guts' of a person, animal, or machine, which is why we use it for organs or inside parts.
