extra-prefix

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin extrā-.
Etymology: < classical Latin extrā-, combining form of extrā (see extra prep.). The Latin adverb and preposition extrā does not, strictly speaking, occur in compounds during the classical period, though post-classically it formed a few verbs like extracludere to shut out, extravagari to wander outside (whence extravagant adj.). Classical Latin had however the adjective extraordinārius extraordinary adj. from the classical Latin phrase extrā ordinem outside the regular order, and post-classical Latin had also extramundanus extramundane adj. from the classical Latin phrase extrā mundum , extramuranus from classical Latin extrā mūrum (or mūrōs ; compare extramural adj.), extranaturalis ‘extra-natural’, from classical Latin extrā nātūrām (see extra-natural adj. at sense 1). Many similar adjectives were formed in post-classical Latin on phrases in which extrā is a preposition, and some of these are adopted in English, as extraprovincial adj. As the suffix employed in such formations was nearly always identical with that used to form an adjective from the noun governed by extra , the words have the appearance of being from extra- + adjective (the actual formation, on extra , preposition + noun + suffix, being obscured); thus extraordinary adj. is perceived as meaning ‘outside of what is ordinary’.Compare French extra-.
The Latin adverb and preposition extrā (see extra prep.). In recent times an enormous number of adjectives of this type have been formed. The most important compounds of extra-, and those requiring etymological explanation, are given in their alphabetical place; of the remainder only a selection can be given in the following lists, many nonce-words of obvious meaning being omitted.
1. Adjectives with general sense ‘situated outside something’ (e.g. in Anatomy a specified organ or member), ‘lying outside the province or scope of’ (a specified branch of science, department of speculation or practice).
Similarly applied to noun deriving from these. Also extrajudicial adj., extramural adj., etc.
