Nope, extra means "out of" or "apart from," same as intra means
within, as in "intranet" or "intramural."  [Never mess with a guy
who does words for a living. ]
The "additional"  concept of the connotation of extra-as-
in-additional as a primary meaning is actually a fairly recent
construct. (Another good example would be JFK's common use of
the word "finalize" to mean finish or put an end to; the term's
use is so common now that hardly anyone thinks anything about it,
but word mechanics & grammarians were *very* much up in arms about
such horrific abuse of the language back only 35 years or so ago.
