Root Explanation

Invertor → It is formed from "in-" (meaning in or into) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word "invertor" refers to something that turns something into another state or position, particularly in the context of changing direction or orientation.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'turns' ('vertere') something 'into' another state ('in-') — that's why an invertor is a device that changes the direction or state of something.
