The prefix extra- means outside, beyond and may be used to create adverbs.

Otherwise it can be, colloquially, as in the terms "extra dry" or "extra virgin" where it modifies an adjective. The word extra can also be used before a noun as an adjective, or is itself a noun meaning something or someone additional (e.g. movie extra).
