What does intra-departmental means?

Question

What does intra-departmental means?

Answer 1

Within the same department. Inter-departmental means from one department to another department.

Answer 2

Poster one has it right.

Intra - within

Inter - between or among

Intra-departmental - within a department

Inter-departmental - between departments or among departments

The same prefixes can be applied to technology - here's one that is really useful to know but is misunderstood.

Internet - between networks or among networks

Intranet - within A network

CNN is on the internet because it is a network among other networks

Your internal network at work in an intranet - everything contained in it is within the same network.

Your Intranet Web Server is private to your companies network.

Your Internet Web Server is shared with the public

Two letter difference, but lack of attention to this small detail can lead to things like posting daily sales data to a publicly accessible web server due to saying 'hey, inter, intra - same thing."

Here's another:

Inter-familial relations - relations between different families - your friends, their parents and your parents at a picnic

Intra-familial relations - relations within a family - your siblings and parents having dinner.
