+

+ ==Etymology==

+ The OLD and the TLL derive it from [[m|la|con-]] and [[m|la|celebrō|t=to frequent, celebrate]],^(OLD 2012)^(TLL) but de Vaan argues that it is the oldest derivative of [[m|la|celeber|t=crowded, frequented]], earlier attested than [[m|la|celebrō]], which was back-formed from it.^(de Vaan 2008) The origin of [[m|la|celeber]] is unknown; de Vaan suggests [[itc-pro|*kelisri-]] with a question mark.^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has it of filling the street with song, ''suavi cantu concelebra omnem hanc plateam hymenaeo'', “fill this whole street with a sweet wedding song”.^(OLD 2012)
