Definition
A device or mechanism that automatically transforms or converts something from one form, state, or system to another without external intervention.
Etymology
From auto- (self) + converter (from Latin convertere, to turn around). A modern technical term reflecting automatic conversion processes in machinery and electronics.
Kelly Says
Modern cars have catalytic converters that are basically autoconverters—they automatically transform deadly pollutants like carbon monoxide into harmless CO₂ through clever chemistry, which is why you're not poisoned by sitting behind a car at a stoplight.
