Oof, swing and a miss.

Oof, shove a bat up your ass! Do governments perform extrojudicial killings? Do we extrodite prisoners, and extropolate data, too?
Extra means "without" or "outside". Extro has no definition, because it's not a word. It is in opposition to "intro" which is also, GASP, a latin word, meaning "within", or "inside". How is this hard to understand? God I hate throngs of people being wrong at the same time.
"Extrovert" was introduced BECAUSE uneducated people used the wrong word so much they had to.
Or English comes from a broad range of roots, not just Latin, and you have a hard time admitting when you were wrong!
Not to mention you already conceded that it’s the current correct form of the word, and if you think language doesn’t change over time due to usage then you’re doubly ignorant.
It gives me so much joy seeing a Lemmy thread collectively shit on a completely bad take on linguistics
Boy, wait til you learn about literally every word in the English language (another example of a word changing due to use)
Jung used "extra" and "intro", case closed. Latin for "turning outside" and "turning inside".
...though Jung also didn't mean extraversion as synonymous with "sociable" or introversion with "needs to refill their tank" or whatnot, but "cognition primarily concerned with the object as opposed to the subject or the other way around".
