'reconvene' 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,' with 're-' added to indicate repetition.

Initially, it meant 'to come together,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
