Etymology

The term 'introverted' originated from the Latin word 'introvertere' which means 'to turn inward'. The concept of introversion was popularized by psychologist Carl Jung in the early 20th century. Jung described introverts as individuals who are more focused on their inner world of thoughts and feelings, as opposed to extraverts who are more outwardly focused. The understanding of introversion has since evolved in psychology and popular culture to encompass a spectrum of personality traits related to social interaction and energy levels.
