The state or quality of being aware, awake, or responsive to one's surroundings and thoughts; consciousness.
A variant or related form derived from Latin 'conciosus' or related to 'conscioius,' with roots in 'con-' (with) and 'scire' (to know). This appears to be an archaic or specialized spelling of 'consciousness.'
This is one of those beautiful archaic spellings that shows English wasn't always standardized—seeing 'conciousness' in old texts reveals the fluidity of spelling before dictionaries fixed our words in place.
