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]
