Root Explanation

Conveyorization is formed from "conveyor" (from the verb "convey", which comes from Old French *conveier*, meaning to carry together) and "-ization" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating a process or action). The term refers to the process of making something into a conveyor system or adapting it to be moved or carried along a conveyor.

Memory Tip

Think of 'conveying' things together ('conveyor') and the process of making that happen ('-ization'). This helps you remember that conveyorization is about the process of adapting something to be carried along a conveyor.
