Morphology

extrovertive = extrovert (transparent) = extrovert + ive

Formed by the productive adjectival suffix '-ive' on the base 'extrovert'; the meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word extrovertive comes from the parts extro- meaning 'outside' and -vert meaning 'to turn', the same idea behind extrovert and the opposite of introvert. So someone who is extrovertive 'turns' their attention outward, which is why the word means outgoing and social.
