(convene)
gathering together
Etymology
'convene' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'convenire,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'venire' meant 'to come.'
'convenire' transformed into the Old French word 'convenir,' and eventually became the modern English word 'convene' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to come together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to assemble or call together for a meeting or activity.'
