Morphology
intraventricular = ventricular (semi-transparent) = intra + ventricle + ar
Formally 'intra-' + 'ventricular' yields the literal meaning 'within the ventricles', but both elements are specialized medical terms that may be unfamiliar to average learners.
Etymology
Intraventricular is made of intra- ('within') and ventricle, a word that originally meant 'little belly' for a small hollow or cavity. So an intraventricular condition is one that happens 'within' the brain's small fluid-filled cavities.
