converted
UK: kənˈvɜːtɪd | US: kənˈvɜːrtɪd
adj. changed in form, function, or character
vt. (past tense of "convert") caused to adopt a different belief, system, or purpose
The word "converted" derives from Latin "convertere" (con<together> + vertere<to turn>), meaning "to turn around" or "transform." The prefix "con-" intensifies the action, while "vertere" signifies the core idea of change. Over time, it evolved in Old French as "convertir," entering Middle English with religious connotations (e.g., changing beliefs). The suffix "-ed" marks it as a past participle, indicating completed action. The logic reflects a literal/metaphorical "turning" toward a new state.
