Morphology
intralinguistic = linguistic (transparent) = intra + linguistic
The prefix 'intra-' clearly indicates 'within', making the meaning 'within language' straightforward.
Etymology
Intralinguistic comes from intra- meaning 'within' and linguistic, which is from the same root as the words 'language' and 'linguist'. So, intralinguistic describes something that happens inside one language rather than 'between' different languages.
