Extravertish

/ˌɛkstrəˈvɜrtɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Somewhat or moderately extraversive; showing some characteristics of extraversion without being strongly or primarily extraverted.

Etymology

From extravert + -ish (suffix meaning somewhat or rather). The -ish suffix derives from Old English and creates a softer, less absolute adjective form.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-ish' is delightfully vague in English—'extravertish' lets you describe people who are on the fence, who sometimes want parties and sometimes want solitude, which honestly describes most people!
