An extrovert - what is it? The meaning of a word, definition, origin, translation

An extrovert (emphasis on "e") is a person, turned face to society, open to communication. The prefix "extra" means "outside, outside," so the word "extrovert" can be translated as "turned outward". An extrovert's antonym is an introvert - a person closed in his world and not inclined to communicate.
