Where this word comes from
Derived from Latin conchylium (“shellfish; mollusk shell”), from Ancient Greek κογχύλιον (konkhúlion, “small mussel; mollusk shell”), a diminutive of κόγχη (kónkhē, “mussel; shell”), probably from Pre-Greek. Cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk konkylie and Danish konkylie; more distantly with Italian conchiglia, French conque, English conch, Spanish concha and Portuguese concha.
