"Extra" as a prefix has always meant 'outside of", as in extramarital, 
extraterrestrial, extraneous, etc.
"Extra" as a word means 'additional'. But thinking about it, even THAT may 
have derived from the meaning "outside of", since additional comes from 
outside of whatever it's being added to. :)
