proselytize
verb
pros·e·ly·tize ˈprä-s(ə-)lə-ˌtīz 
proselytized; proselytizing
: to recruit or convert especially to a new faith, institution, or cause
Did you know?
Proselytize comes from the noun proselyte (meaning "a new convert"), which comes from the Late Latin noun proselytus. Proselytus means "stranger" or "alien resident," and comes from a similar Greek word (prosēlytos). When proselytize entered English in the 17th century, it had a distinctly religious connotation and meant simply "to recruit religious converts." This meaning is still common, but today one can also proselytize in a broader sense - recruiting converts to one's political party or pet cause, for example.
