Root Explanation

Conceivable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "capere" (meaning to seize or take). The word "conceivable" means something that can be seized or understood together in the mind.

Memory Tip

Think of being able to 'seize' an idea 'together' — that's why something is 'conceivable' if you can understand it.
