Morphology
extravertive = extravert (opaque) = extra + vert + ive
The adjective is formed regularly from 'extravert' plus '-ive', but the psychological sense is somewhat specialized for basic learners.
Etymology
Extravertive comes from extra- 'outside' and the root -vert 'to turn', like the common word introvert but facing the other way. So an extravertive person is 'turned outward' toward people and events, which is why they like busy social settings.
