Root Explanation

Conformation → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "formare" (meaning to shape or form). The word refers to the act of shaping or forming something together, often used in contexts like biology or architecture.

Memory Tip

Think of 'shaping together' — 'con-' means together, and 'formare' means to shape. This helps you remember that conformation refers to the way something is shaped or formed together.
