Morphology

intracranially = intracranial (transparent) = intra + cranial + ly

Formed by adding the adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'intracranial', so the adverbial meaning 'in a manner within the skull' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word intracranially comes from the parts intra- meaning 'within' and cranial (from cranium) meaning 'skull'. So intracranially means 'inside the skull', used when something happens or is placed directly into the head.
