convento
/komˈbento/ · B2 · noun · m
convent
⛪ convento = con + vent(o): people who 'come together' (convenire) to live as one
From Latin conventus, 'assembly', from convenire, 'to come together'. A convento is a community gathered under one roof. English convene, convention, and convent share this same root, so the link to English 'convent' is direct.
