🇬🇧
/ˌekstrəˈvɜːtɪdlɪ/
outwardly sociable; turned outward
Etymology
'extrovertedly' originates from Latin elements, specifically 'extra' and 'vertere', where 'extra' meant 'outside' and 'vertere' meant 'to turn'.
'extrovert' (also spelled 'extravert') was coined in modern psychological usage in the early 20th century (notably by C. G. Jung) from the Latin elements 'extra' + 'vertere'; English then formed the adjective 'extroverted' and the adverbial form 'extrovertedly' by adding -ed and -ly.
Initially the components suggested 'turned outward' (literally 'turned to the outside'); over time the term came to mean 'outgoing' or 'sociable' in modern usage.
