Root Explanation

Conjurer → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "jurare" (meaning to swear or to take an oath). The word refers to someone who swears or calls upon spirits together, often in a magical context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'calls upon' ('jurare') spirits 'together' ('con-') — that's why a conjurer is someone who invokes magic.
