How Extractive
Surface Forms
Morphology
extractive = extract (semi-transparent) = ex + tract + ive
The adjective is regularly formed from 'extract', but this sense is a specialized label for industries that remove natural resources from the earth.
Etymology
Extractive comes from ex- 'out' and tract 'pull', the same root you see in tractor. So an extractive industry is one that 'pulls out' natural resources like oil, gas, or minerals from the earth.
