Morphology
extrospective = extrospect (semi-transparent) = extro + spect + ive
Formed regularly from the verb 'extrospect' + '-ive', but 'extrospect' and the combining element 'spect' may be unfamiliar to many learners.
Etymology
Extrospective is made from the parts extro- meaning 'outside' and -spective meaning 'to look', the same idea you see in inspect or spectator. So, to be extrospective is to pay attention to the outer world and other people rather than looking into your own mind.
