Verb forms:

Word Origin:
late 15th cent.: from Latin persuadere, from per- ‘through, to completion’ + suadere ‘advise’.

Which Word?:
persuade / convince
The main meaning of persuade is to make someone agree to do something by giving them good reasons for doing it: ▪ I tried to persuade her to see a doctor. The main meaning of convince is to make someone believe that something is true: ▪ He convinced me he was right.
It is quite common, however, for each of these words to be used with both meanings, especially for convince to be used as a synonym for persuade: ▪ I persuaded/convinced her to see a doctor. Some speakers of BrE think that this is not correct.
