Root Explanation

Intrafallopian → It is formed from "intra-" (meaning within) and "fallopian" (from the Latin "falopeus", referring to the fallopian tubes named after the anatomist Gabriele Falloppio). The word "intrafallopian" refers to something that occurs within the fallopian tubes.

Memory Tip

Think of 'intra-' meaning 'within' and 'fallopian' referring to the fallopian tubes, so 'intrafallopian' describes something that happens within those tubes.
