Word History

Etymology

Middle English consistorie "diocesan court, tribunal, session of a tribunal, council chamber," borrowed from Anglo-French consistorie, consistoire "court of law, diocesan court, convocation of cardinals," borrowed from Medieval Latin consistōrium "place of assembly, council, ecclesiastical court," going back to Late Latin, "place of assembly, habitation, privy council of the emperor," from Latin consistere "to come to a halt, remain at the same level, take up a position, continue in a place, reside, live" + -ōrium -ory entry 1 — more at consist entry 1

Note: The predominant Middle English form is constorie (with numerous variants, as cunstorie, constri), resulting from syncope of consistorie with original stress on the first syllable.

First Known Use

14th century, in the meaning defined at sense 1
