Etymology: < Latin concha bivalve shell, < Greek κόγχη mussel or cockle, shell-like cavity, etc. Compare Italian conca, Provençal conca, concha, Spanish concha, Portuguese concha, French conque (16th cent.), formerly also conche. The earlier English form was perhaps conche, plural conches, < French: many pronounce /kɒnʃ/, /ˈkɒnʃɪz/. In Latin the name was extended to other shells, as a whelk, a snail-shell, the shell-shaped Triton's trumpet, etc., and these senses passed into the modern languages.

1. A shellfish: originally a bivalve such as the mussel or oyster; in later times more frequently a large gastropod, esp. Strombus gigas.
