英[kən'vɜːs(ə)nt]

助记提示
1、con- "with" + vers- [versare (vertere的反复体,反复动词:versare) => vers-] + -ant.
2、字面含义:turn with sb, turn to with sb, turn around with sb, turn to company with sb(表示转而和某人在一起,转而陪伴某人,和某人一起转悠). => keep company with sb, live with sb. => 陪伴,交往,社交,交谈,谈话。
3、turn理解为中文里的“转悠”,表示和某人一起到处转悠转悠,也行。
4、vertere => 反复体:versare. => 被动体:versari, 字面含义:keep to be turned, 由此引申为:abide, remain, live; 表示:保持下去,继续下去,维持下去。=> vers-. 该词的vers-就取这样的含义。
5、converse (v.) + -ant => conversant.中文词源
conversant 通晓的con-, 强调。-verse, 转,词源同versatile, versus. 即圆转自如的,通晓的。
