Morphology
extradite = ex + tradite
Although the prefix 'ex-' (out) is recognizable, the remainder ('tradite') is not a productive English morpheme and the meaning 'hand over to another jurisdiction' cannot be derived by an average learner from the visible parts.
Etymology
Extradite comes from the Latin parts ex- meaning 'out' and tradere meaning 'to hand over'; think of it as 'handing someone out' to another place. The same root appears in tradition, which is about 'handing down' something. So, to extradite someone is to send them 'out' to be 'handed over' to another country.
