Morphology
introvert = introvert (semi-transparent) = intro + vert
Using the same form as a noun for a person characterized by inward-turning attention is understandable, but the fixed personality-type meaning is somewhat specialized.
Etymology
Introvert comes from the Latin parts intro- 'in' and -vert 'turn'. So an introvert is someone who 'turns inward' and prefers quiet time or small groups.
