Etymology

The word 'conventional' originates from the late Middle French term 'conventionnel', which stems from the Latin word 'conventio', meaning 'a coming together'. The prefix 'con-' indicates 'together', while 'ventio' is derived from 'venire', meaning 'to come'. Though the term has been used in various ways throughout its history, its modern usage solidified in the late 19th century, particularly in contexts relating to established norms and practices. Over time, 'conventional' has come to encompass not only social customs and traditions but also methodologies across different fields like science, art, and technology. Today, it often contrasts with terms like 'innovative' or 'modern', highlighting its roots in the tried-and-tested ways of the past.
