convenite

Convenite is a Latin verb form meaning "come together" or "assemble yourselves." It is the second-person plural present active imperative of convenire, a verb meaning "to come together, to gather." The form is built from the present stem conven- with the imperative suffix -ite.

In classical Latin, convenite is used to address a group and order them to assemble. It can appear in speeches, plays, and prose where a speaker calls listeners to gather. In ecclesiastical Latin and Latin translations of biblical or liturgical texts, the form may appear as part of calls for a congregation to assemble, though exact phrasing varies by text.

Morphology and related forms: The present indicative forms are convenio (I come together), convenis (you come together), convenit (he/she/it comes together), convenimus (we come together), convenitis (you all come together), conveniunt (they come together). The noun conventus, from the same root, means "an assembly" or "a gathering."

Usage note: Convenite is a strictly Latin form and is not used in modern English except when quoting Latin or discussing grammar. It may appear in dictionaries, grammars, or scholarly works dealing with Latin syntax and liturgical language.
