Morphology
extraversive = extraversion (transparent) = extra + vers + ive
Formed from the noun 'extraversion' (or 'extravert') with the productive adjectival suffix '-ive', so the meaning 'directed outward' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word extraversive comes from Latin words extra- meaning 'outside' and -versive from a word meaning 'to turn', the same idea you see in extrovert and reverse. So, extraversive describes someone who is 'turned toward the outside' and who looks to other people and the world for energy and interest.
