Morphology

extroverted = extrovert (transparent) = extrovert + ed

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'extrovert' with '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Extroverted comes from parts that mean 'outside' (extro-) and 'turn' (-vert), the same idea you see in the word convert. So, to be extroverted is to 'turn' your attention 'outside' toward people and the world, which is why extroverted people are outgoing and social.
