Morphology
extravert = extrovert (transparent) = extra + vert
The adjective corresponds to the well-known English adjective 'extrovert', so the sense is directly inferable from that base.
Etymology
Extravert as an adjective uses the same Latin parts extra- 'outside' and -vert 'to turn'. That's why being extravert means being 'turned outward' — outgoing and focused on people and the outside world.
