Root Explanation

Intramurally is formed from "intra-" (meaning within) and "murus" (meaning wall in Latin). The word refers to activities or events that take place within the walls of a specific institution, such as a school or university.

Memory Tip

Think of 'within' ('intra-') the 'walls' ('murus') of a place — that's why intramurally means happening inside those walls.
