Root Explanation

Intracranially → It is formed from "intra-" (meaning within) and "cranium" (from Greek "kranion", meaning skull) and the suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word "intracranially" refers to something occurring within the skull.

Memory Tip

Think of 'intra-' meaning 'within' and 'cranium' referring to the 'skull' — so intracranially means something happening within the skull.
