Morphology
extradition = extradite (opaque) = ex + tradit + ion
The noun is related to the legal verb 'extradite', but that verb is itself rare and not transparently recoverable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The word extradition comes from Latin parts extra 'outside' and tradere 'to hand over', the same root you see in tradition meaning 'handed down'. So, extradition is literally a country's 'handing over' of a person to an outside country, which is why today it means sending someone to another state to face trial or punishment.
