Have you seen the new conveyor belt at the factory?

Yeah, it's impressive how fast it moves the products.

I heard it can handle twice as much as the old one.

That's going to really speed up our production process!

Root Explanation

Conveyor → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vehere" (meaning to carry). The word describes something that carries items together along a path or surface.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'carries' ('vehere') items 'together' ('con-') — that's what a conveyor does.
