Ah, what a lovely question! The prefix for "extinct" is "ex-", which means "out of" or "no longer". The suffix is "-tinct", which comes from the Latin Word "tinctus" meaning "dipped" or "colored". So, when you put them together, you get "extinct", which beautifully describes something that has faded away from existence.
