Etymology

con-
- Used in compounds to indicate a being or bringing together of several objects
- Used in compounds to indicate the completeness, perfecting of any act, and thus gives intensity to the signification of the simple word
Usage notes
- Before vowels and h, the prefix becomes co-, or rarely com-. Excluded are i and u when these represent /j/ and /w/.
- Before b, m and p, the prefix becomes com-.
- Before l, the prefix becomes col-.
- Before r, the prefix becomes cor-.
- Before n, the prefix becomes cō- (or remains con-, in Late Latin).
- Before original gn, the prefix becomes co- and gn is not reduced to n.
As usual in Latin phonology, the sequences ons and onf are pronounced with nasalised long vowels, and the vowel is written with a macron, i.e. cōnspīrō and cōnferō.
