Morphology

extrovert = vert (semi-transparent) = extro + vert

The adjective sense is interpretable as 'outward-turning' but relies on knowledge of the combining form rather than a familiar standalone base.

Etymology

Extrovert comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and -vert 'to turn', so it means 'turned outward'. That's why calling someone extrovert describes a person who is outgoing and focused on people and the world outside themselves.
