Root Explanation
Conveyorized → It is formed from "convey" (from Old French *conveier*, meaning to carry or transport) and "-ized" (a suffix used to form verbs indicating a process or transformation). The word "conveyorized" means to have been transformed into a system or process that carries or transports items automatically.
