convinced

/kənˈvɪnst/ adj B2 ✓

In a state of believing, especially from evidence but not necessarily.

Word Origin From Latin vincere 'to conquer' — so to convince someone is literally to conquer their mind, to overcome their doubts. The prefix con- intensifies it: 'thoroughly conquer.' That's why conviction is a firmly held belief, and invincible means unconquerable. The same root gives us victor and victory — winning the argument is a kind of victory.
