Convincement is from the verb convince (from Latin convincere 'to overcome decisively, prove', from con- intensive + vincere 'to conquer') plus the suffix -ment. The ancestry passes through Latin convincere, Latin vincere, and Proto-Indo-European *weik-. The prefix con- adds togetherness, combination, or intensification where the Latin formation gives it that value, helping to explain the word's surface structure. In present use as a noun, it means "the act or state of being convinced; firm conviction", keeping the historical formation close to the word's ordinary semantic work.
