Root Explanation

Configurable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "figurare" (meaning to shape or form) and the suffix "-ive" (meaning having the nature of). The word "configurative" refers to having the nature of shaping or forming something together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'shaping together' — 'con-' means together, 'figurare' means to shape, and '-ive' indicates a quality. This helps you remember that 'configurative' relates to the ability to shape or form something.
