Root Explanation

Convergence is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vergere" (meaning to bend or turn). The word describes the act of coming together or bending towards a common point.

Memory Tip

Think of things 'coming together' ('con-') and 'bending' ('vergere') towards a single point — that's what convergence means.
