Root Explanation

Convertor → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word "convertor" refers to something that turns or changes something into another form or state.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'turns' ('vertere') things 'together' ('con-') into a new form — that's what a convertor does.
