Morphology
extrovert = vert (semi-transparent) = extro + vert
The meaning 'outward-turning' is inferable from the parts, but the combining element 'vert' is not a familiar standalone word for most learners, so understanding is partial.
Etymology
Extrovert comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and -vert 'to turn', so it means 'turned outward'. It is the opposite of introvert ('turned inward'), and an extrovert often feels energized by being with other people and the outside world.
