I just finished reading a book about conceptional art.

Oh, really? What did you think of it?

It was fascinating how they explored different ideas and meanings behind the pieces.

That sounds interesting! I love when art challenges our perception.

Root Explanation

Conceptional → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "ceptio" (from "capere", meaning to seize or take). The word refers to the act of taking or forming ideas together, hence relating to concepts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'taking together' ('con-') ideas or thoughts ('ceptio') — that's why conceptional relates to ideas or concepts.
