Etymology

() Circa 1600, from French conniver, from Latin conniveo, conivere (“to wink”) or directly from Latin, from com- (“together”) + base akin to nictō (“I wink”), from Proto-Indo-European *knei-gwh- (“to bend”).“” in the Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper, 2001 See also English nictate (“to wink”), from same Latin base. Sense comes from extension of “to wink” into “to wink (at a crime), to be privy”.
