Morphology

intraperitoneal = peritoneal (transparent) = intra + peritoneum + al

Built by adding the productive medical prefix 'intra-' (meaning 'within') to the adjective 'peritoneal', so the meaning 'within the peritoneal cavity' is directly compositional.

Etymology

Intraperitoneal breaks into two parts: intra- meaning 'within' and peritoneum meaning the thin 'lining' around the belly organs. So, intraperitoneal describes something given or found 'inside' the space made by that lining, for example a medicine placed directly into the belly cavity.
