RECONVINCE Meaning and
Definition
-
Reconvince is a verb that refers to the act of persuading or convincing someone again, especially after they have changed their opinion or become doubtful. It involves the process of presenting new arguments, evidence, or reasons in order to restore someone's belief, conviction, or confidence in a particular idea, concept, or course of action.
When someone is reconvincing another person, they are essentially attempting to sway them back to their original viewpoint or perspective. This could be necessary in situations where the initial persuasive effort was unsuccessful, or a change in circumstances has caused doubt or skepticism to arise.
Reconvincing often requires careful consideration of the individual's concerns, reservations, or new information, in order to address them effectively. It may involve engaging in open dialogue, providing relevant data, sharing personal experiences, or employing other persuasive techniques to re-establish the original conviction.
The act of reconvincing can be observed in various contexts, such as interpersonal relationships, debates, sales, marketing, politics, or advocacy. Skilled communicators may possess the ability to reconvince with finesse and sensitivity, understanding that trust and credibility can play a significant role in the process.
Overall, reconvince encapsulates the endeavor of regaining someone's trust, belief, or support by means of persuasive communication, often requiring adaptability, empathy, and an understanding of individual perspectives.
Etymology of RECONVINCE
The word "reconvince" is derived from the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back", and the verb "convince".
The word "convince" traces its origins back to the Latin word "convincere", which can be broken down as "com-" (meaning "together") and "vincere" (meaning "to conquer" or "to prevail"). "Convincere" originally referred to defeating an opponent in an argument or proving someone wrong.
Over time, "convince" evolved in English to mean persuading or winning over someone, typically through rational or logical arguments. It implies changing someone's belief, opinion, or mindset.
When the prefix "re-" is added to "convince", it creates the term "reconvince". This suggests the action of convincing someone again or reestablishing a previous conviction or belief that was possibly in doubt or lost.
