About This Root
From Latin concilium (an assembly called together for discussion), from con- (together) + calare (to call, summon). The verb conciliare meant 'to bring together, win over, reconcile.' This gives us council (a body called together), conciliate (to bring opposing sides together), reconciliation (calling together again), conciliatory (peace-making), and irreconcilable (unable to be brought together).
