The prefix in- is used for more than one purpose. It most frequently means "not" as in such words as intransigent, intolerant, insuperable, independent, or inanimate. But it can also mean "in" or "into" as in such words as increase, ingrowing, income, and invert. The first meaning comes from the French, the second from Latin and Old English or Norse.
