Etymology

**Convenable** derives from Late Latin *convenābĭlis*, an adjective built on *convenīre* “to come together, to agree” (from *con-* “together” + *venīre* “to come”). The Latin term was used in medieval texts to mean “suitable, fitting” and was borrowed into Old French as *convenabler*, later evolving to the modern spelling *convenable*. Over time its sense narrowed to the contemporary meaning “proper, appropriate or fitting.”
