Root Explanation

Convincingly → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "vincere" (meaning to conquer or overcome), along with the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "convincingly" means in a manner that overcomes doubt or opposition, effectively persuading others.

Memory Tip

Think of 'con-' meaning together and 'vincere' meaning to conquer — so when something is done convincingly, it overcomes doubts together.
