Etymology
**conseils** – plural of *conseil* (counsel, advice) comes from Old French *conseil*, which in turn derives from the Latin *consilium*. *Consilium* is a compound of *con-* “together” + *silium*, from the verb *sileo* “to listen”, literally “something heard together”, i.e., a shared opinion. The word entered Middle French as *conseil*, retaining the same spelling and sense; the modern plural is formed simply by adding *-s*.
