Morphology
extract = ex + tract
Although historically analyzable as ex- plus a bound root meaning 'draw', modern learners cannot reliably infer 'remove' or 'obtain' from the parts because there is no accessible English base word.
Etymology
Extract comes from old Latin parts ex- 'out' and trahere 'to pull'. To extract something is to pull it out, often with effort, like taking out a splinter or getting evidence, and this is the same 'pulling' idea you see in tractor.
