cuvendã

Etymology
From a derivative of ; alternatively, possibly from Albanian (itself from the same root), or influenced by it. Compare 🇨🇬 and cf. also Greek. The semantic shift in proto-Romanian from "meeting, gathering, assembly" to "word" may have been due to the importance of assemblies and gatherings where words and ideas were exchanged historically; this also affected Macedonian, which derives from the Slavic word for "assembly, meeting, gathering" (through a process of regional linguistic convergence known as the Balkan sprachbund, due to the close interaction of these languages' speakers). The Aromanian synonym was a likely loanword from this Macedonian word.
