concept

concept
concept (n.) 1550s, from M.L. conceptum "draft, abstract," in classical Latin " (a thing) conceived," from concep-, pp. stem of concipere "to take in" (see CONCEIVE (Cf. conceive)). In some 16c. cases a refashioning of CONCEIT (Cf. conceit) (perhaps to avoid negative connotations).
