Surface Forms

intracompany positive

Morphology

intracompany = company (semi-transparent) = intra + company

Formed from the combining prefix 'intra-' meaning 'within' plus 'company'; the structure is clear but 'intra-' is a somewhat technical combining form that not all learners know.

Etymology

Intracompany combines the prefix intra- meaning 'within' and company meaning 'a business'. That's why intracompany describes actions or things that happen inside one company, not between different companies.
