Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in English from the participial adjective 'convincing' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The base verb 'convince' derives from the Latin 'convincere' ('to overcome in argument' or 'to prove indisputably'), combining 'com-' (intensive prefix) and 'vincere' ('to conquer').
