convertor

/kənvˈɜɾɚ/ noun

converter

Word Origin Convertor (or converter) is the agent noun from convert — the thing that turns something together. The root vertere gives us a huge family: divert (turn aside), pervert (turn thoroughly, corrupt), and subvert (turn from below). The -or suffix marks the doer, like in actor or inventor. So a convertor is literally 'a turner-together.'
