Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /konˈsiɡo/ [kõnˈsi.ɣ̞o]
• Rhymes: -iɡo
• Syllabification: con‧si‧go

Etymology 1

Inherited from Latin cum sēcum (literally “with with-himself”). Classical Latin used just sēcum, but at a certain point in Vulgar Latin, the suffix -go in *sigo that developed by regular sound change was no longer recognized as a postposition, and it was reinforced with con-.

Adverb

consigo

1. with himself, herself, itself, themselves
