intra-
(Latin: within, inside, on the inside)
Borrowed from late Latin intra-; closely related to inter-, "between". The use of intra- is largely a product of modern times, occurring in words of common and technical vocabulary, where once it was generally a term used in science and the academic world.
While some words are borrowings from Medieval and even Late Latin, few if any come from Classical Latin.
ab intra

The role of an insider is played out ab intra or "from within" an organization.
