The "problem" is that being a composed word (with Romanian prefix
"în-") it cannot be linked in this new form with the Ancient Greek
word already exhibiting "an" at the beginning.

First take a look in your DEX. "în-" is a productive prefix in
Romanian (continuing Latin prefix "in-"). There is no need to
suppose "older" forms since the derivation is 100% Romanian.

OK, since you obviously aren't able to make necessary links, I'll
rephrase: Greek word means `human (being)`, not `to get a body`, nor
`corpse`. Slavic word "trup" means `body, corpse` in Russian,
Serbian, Bulgarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovene, Polish and OCS. The
derivation "în+trup" should mean in Romanian `to get a body/corpse`
and not `human (being)`. It does. End of story.
