An archaic or obsolete term for a council or assembly, particularly an ecclesiastical gathering.
From Latin concilium (assembly or council). Related to modern English 'council.' The word fell out of common use as 'council' became the standard form.
Concile shows up in very old English texts about church meetings—it's the same root as 'reconcile,' since councils bring people together to restore agreement!
