"internal, inward, intestine," from intus "within, on the inside," from PIE entos, suffixed form of root en "in" (see in (adv.)). Compare Sanskrit antastyam, Greek entosthia "bowels." The Old English word was hropp, literally "rope." Entries linking to intestines in adv., prep. a Middle English merger of Old English in (prep.) "in, into, upon, on, at, among; about, during;" and Old English inne (adv.) "within, inside," from Proto-Germanic in (source also of Old Frisian, Dutch, German, Gothic in, Old Norse i), from PIE root en "in." The simpler form took on both senses in Middle English. Sense distinction between in and on is from later Middle English, and nuances in use of in and at still distinguish British and American English (in school/at school).
