Root Explanation

Conscionable → It is formed from "con-" (meaning with) and "scio" (meaning to know). The word "conscionable" refers to actions or decisions that are made with knowledge and awareness of what is right or just.

Memory Tip

Think of acting 'with knowledge' ('con-') of what is right ('scio') — that's why conscionable means being aware of moral correctness.
