Root Explanation

Diverse → It is formed from "di-" (meaning apart or in different directions) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word "diverse" describes things that are turned apart or different from one another.

Memory Tip

Think of things that are 'turned apart' ('di-') and 'turned' ('vertere') in different ways — that's why diverse means different.
