The word "conversational" derives from the Latin conversatio ("act of living or associating with others"), which evolved into conversation in Middle English, meaning "interactive speech." The suffix -al (from Latin -alis) transforms it into an adjective, emphasizing its relational quality to dialogue. The morpheme conversation itself combines con- ("together") + versare ("to turn"), metaphorically implying the "turning" of ideas between speakers.
