convínecer

Convínecer is a Portuguese verb that appears mainly in historical and regional texts and is not part of contemporary standard usage. The primary sense attested in older sources is to convene, to call together people for a meeting or occasion, i.e., to assemble a group. In some dictionaries a secondary sense is described as to persuade or win over, aligning with the semantic field of convencer, though this meaning is rare and not standard in modern Portuguese.

Etymology and classification are typical of verbs built from the Latin convenire, meaning “to come together.” Convínecer would be related to the verb family that includes convier and convencer, and it would have followed the patterns of -er verbs found in historical varieties of Portuguese. The exact spelling, accentuation, and conjugation forms vary across periods and regional usages, and the form is largely absent from current normative references.

Usage today is primarily of historical or philological interest. When encountered in older texts, convínecer often conveys the notion of organizing or arranging a gathering or meeting; the sense of persuading is less common and not recommended for modern writing, where convier or convencer would be preferred. Convínecer thus serves as a linguistic artifact illustrating how related roots for coming together have evolved in Portuguese, and how semantic shifts can produce divergent forms across time.
