Etymology of CONVOCATE

The word "convocate" comes from the Latin word "convocatus", which is the past participle of "convocare". "Convocare" is a compound word derived from the prefix "con-", meaning "together", and "vocare", which means "to call" or "to summon".

The term later evolved to specifically refer to calling together a formal assembly or congregation, such as a convocation, which is a ceremonial gathering or assembly.
