Morphology
extraversion = version (opaque) = extra + vers + ion
The word is historically related to the idea of 'turning outward', but the modern psychological meaning is specialized and not recoverable from the common meaning of 'version' alone.
Etymology
Extraversion comes from Latin parts extra- meaning 'outside' and vertere meaning 'to turn'. So it means 'turning outward', which is why someone with high extraversion is outgoing and pays attention to the world and other people rather than only to their own thoughts.
