Morphology

intraoffice = office (transparent) = intra + office

The combining form 'intra-' meaning 'within' attaches to 'office' with a directly derived meaning 'within an office or organization'.

Etymology

Intraoffice comes from the prefix intra- ('within') and office ('workplace'), so it means something that happens or exists inside a single office or organization. Think of it like intranet, which also uses intra- to mean 'within'.
