Adepter is derived from the Latin word 'aptare' (meaning to fit or adjust) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). The word 'adepter' refers to a person or device that fits or adjusts something to make it compatible or suitable.
Think of someone who 'fits' or 'adjusts' things — 'aptare' means to fit, and '-er' indicates a person. An adepter is someone who makes things fit together.
