convicium

Latin

Etymology

Etymology disputed. According to one theory, from con- + vōx, but considered untenable for morphological reasons. Leumann suggests a denominal of *convīcī (house-mates). De Van finds this etymology farfetched and finds a connection with vinciō (to tie) much more likely.[1]
