Root Explanation

Conversion → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word describes the act of turning something into a different form or state, often implying a change that brings things together in a new way.

Memory Tip

Think of 'turning together' — 'con-' means together, and 'vertere' means to turn. This helps you remember that conversion means changing something into a different form.
