What is the difference between inter- and intra- ?

Answer by  jackie (276)

Both are derived from Latin, but they have opposite meanings. Intra- indicates action within a common group: Intramural sports are those played between groups of students from the same school. Inter- indications action involving two or more different groups: Interscholastic sports involve two or more different schools competing against each other.

Inter- refers to between things and intra- refers to within a group. For example, inter-group relations would mean relations between different groups, and intra-group relations would mean relations among people within a single group.
