• Rhymes: -iɡo
• Syllabification: con‧si‧go

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-.

consigo

1. with himself, herself, itself, themselves
