Etymology

The term 'extrovert' is derived from the Latin roots 'extra-' meaning 'outside' and 'vertere' meaning 'to turn'. Its usage in the psychological context can be traced back to the early 20th century, particularly in the works of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who introduced the terms extroversion and introversion to describe different personality orientations. Extroverts were described as individuals who turn their focus and energy outward toward the external world, as opposed to introverts, who center their energy inward. Since the mid-20th century, the term has gained significant traction in popular culture, often being used in personality assessments, self-help literature, and discussions about social behavior and dynamics.
