Etymology
Conversionism comes from the word convert, which comes from an old word meaning 'to turn', and the ending -ism, meaning a 'belief' or 'approach'. So conversionism is the idea that a big personal 'turning' or change is the main solution to a problem, which is why it focuses on radical personal transformation.
