Root Explanation

Conjuration → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "jurare" (meaning to swear). The word refers to the act of swearing together, often in a magical or spiritual context, to invoke or summon a spirit or entity.

Memory Tip

Think of people 'swearing together' ('con-') to call upon something supernatural — that's what conjuration means.
