Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Middle English verb 'concelen', stemming from the Old French 'conceler', and ultimately from the Latin 'concelare' (to hide completely, from 'com-' + 'celare' to hide). The suffix '-ment' was added in Middle English to denote the action or state of hiding.
