convención

/kombenˈθjon/ · B2 · noun · f

convention

🤝 Latin con + venire = come together, so a convention is a coming-together

Spanish -ción matches English -tion, so convención maps straight onto convention. Also from venir (to come): the people who 'come with' each other agree on rules, which is why it means both a big meeting and an accepted custom.
