Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'no longer alight'): from Latin exstinct- 'extinguished', from the verb exstinguere (see extinguish).

The early recorded sense of this was ‘no longer alight’. This is from Latin exstinguere ‘to extinguish’ (mid 16th century). Extinct is used in connection with species of animals that have died out, from the late 17th century.
