+ ==Forms==

+ '''reconciliō''' (present infinitive reconciliāre, perfect active reconciliāvī, supine reconciliātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ Plautus has the old future forms ''reconciliassō'' and ''reconciliassere''.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|re-|conciliō|t2=to bring together, win over]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) De Vaan lists it, with [[m|la|conciliō]] and [[concilium]], under [[m|la|calō|t=to call]], which he traces to [[itc-pro|*kela-]] and [[ine-pro|*kelh₁-|t=to call]], comparing [[xum|kar̆etu|t=he must call]] and [[grc|καλέω|tr=kaléō|t=to call]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Naevius,^(de Vaan 2008) and the TLL finds it in the verse of Naevius, Plautus and Ennius before Cicero's prose.^(TLL) In Ennius a speaker asks whether his wife is to be reconciled while his daughter is put to death.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to bring people or parties back into friendship, to reconcile, and also to bring a quarrel back into harmony: Pliny the Elder has a fight between bees stopped with milk.^(OLD 2012) It is also to win back or restore something lost, especially goodwill: Cicero speaks of recovering the lost good name of the courts.^(OLD 2012) In Plautus' ''Captivi'' it is to bring a person back home.^(OLD 2012) Apuleius uses it of setting a dislocated joint.^(OLD 2012) Church Latin glosses it to reconcile, absolve, reunite.^(Stelten 1995) It came into English as [[m|en|reconcile]] in the mid-14th century, through [[m|fro|reconcilier]] and directly from Latin, of persons and of God restoring sinners to grace.^(Etymonline)
