Morphology

intraspecific = specific (semi-transparent) = intra + specific

Built from the combining form 'intra-' (within) + 'specific'; the meaning 'within a species' is straightforward in scientific contexts but the prefix is somewhat technical for general B1 learners.

Etymology

Intraspecific begins with intra- meaning 'within', and the specific part comes from species meaning 'kind' or 'type'. So intraspecific simply means something that happens 'within the same species', like competition or variation among members of one kind.
