Root Explanation

Extraverted → It is formed from "extra-" (meaning outside) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word describes a person who turns outward, focusing on the external world rather than the inner self.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who turns their attention 'outside' ('extra-') to engage with the world around them — that's what being extraverted means.
