Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From French conniver (to ignore and thus become complicit in wrongdoing), or directly from its etymon Latin con(n)īvēre (perhaps alluding to two persons involved in a scheme together winking to each other), from con- + *nīvēre (related to nictō (to blink, wink), from Proto-Indo-European *kneygʷʰ- (to bend, droop)).
