-vert- is not a suffix but a word part or word root. It means "turn" as in vertical, subvert, convert, advertise, etc. It has variants -vers- and -verg-.
(Source english-for-students.com) These ROOT-WORDS are VERS & VERT which means TURN. VERS comes from versare and VERT comes from vertere. Both are Latin and mean TURN. This root does not tell you where to turn, that is told you by another root, a Prefix placed before the Root. From No. 8 through No. 18 you are given a signal, which way to turn. Exactly like a sign on the highway, to make a left turn or a right one, the Prefixes tell you - away, to, against, with, from, in, through, under and back. You can’t go wrong with root.
