Root Explanation

Perverter → It is formed from "per-" (meaning through or completely) and "vertere" (meaning to turn). The word "perverter" means to turn something completely away from its original state or purpose.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'turned completely' ('per-') away from its original form ('vertere') — that's why perverter means to corrupt or distort.
