+ '''conciliō''' (present infinitive conciliāre, perfect active conciliāvī, supine conciliātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|concilium|t=assembly, meeting]] with the verb suffix [[m|la|-ō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Etymonline) De Vaan puts ⟨concilium⟩ with [[m|la|calō|t=to call, summon]], from [[itc-pro|*kela-]] and [[ine-pro|*kelh₁-|t=to call]], cognate with [[grc|καλέω|tr=kaléō|t=to call]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan gives Plautus as its first author.^(de Vaan 2008) In the ''Trinummus'' a man is told: ''tūte ad eum adeās, tūte conciliēs'', “go to him yourself, win him over yourself”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its literal sense is to bring together or unite, as Lucretius' atoms joined by their meeting, and to match a woman with a husband, as in Catullus.^(OLD 2012) From that it is to win someone over, to make favourable, and to commend or endear: Ovid's face made pleasing by wit.^(OLD 2012) It is to bring about or obtain, as peace in Terence, to get money by improper means in a law, and to acquire by purchase (Plautus).^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “win over, unite, make friendly, procure”.^(Stelten 1995) English ''conciliate'' (1540s) comes from its participle.^(Etymonline)
