+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''reconciliātiō''' ''f'' (genitive reconciliātiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|reconciliō|-tiō|t1=to bring together again]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan lists the verb and [[m|la|concilium]] under [[m|la|calō#1|t=to call]], which he traces to [[ine-pro|*kelh₁-|t=to call]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL records it from Cicero on.^(TLL)^(Köbler 2010) In the third Catilinarian Cicero speaks of strife ended not by a ''reconciliatio concordiae'' but by the slaughter of citizens.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ With a genitive it is the restoring of something, as concord or goodwill: Cicero has ''reconciliatio gratiae'', the renewal of friendship, and in a letter of Balbus and Oppius it is the renewal of goodwill with Pompey.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Used alone it is a reconciliation, mostly in post-Augustan writers: Livy says there was no need of a reconciliation, and Suetonius has Calvus seeking one through friends.^(Lewis & Short 1879) The plural is rare, as in Suetonius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL)

+

+ The TLL finds it more often in Christian writers.^(TLL) The Vulgate speaks of the ''ministerium reconciliationis'', the ministry of reconciliation,^(Lewis & Short 1879) and Church Latin used it for reconciliation and forgiveness.^(Stelten 1995) In medieval Latin it was the absolution of a penitent and the reconsecration of a church that had been profaned.^(Niermeyer 1976)^(Köbler 2010)
