Root Explanation
Converted → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word "converted" means to have turned something into a different form or state, often implying a change in belief or condition.
Memory Tip
Think of 'turning together' — 'con-' means together, and 'vertere' means to turn. This helps you remember that 'converted' means to have turned something into a different form.
