Root Explanation

Conferrable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "ferre" (meaning to carry or bring). The word "conferrable" means something that can be brought together or contributed.

Memory Tip

Think of bringing things 'together' ('con-') and 'carrying' them ('ferre') — that's why conferrable means something that can be contributed or brought together.
