An Italian or Portuguese term for congress, used in formal assembly or legislative contexts.
Italian and Portuguese form of congress, from Latin congressus. Different Romance languages kept variations of this Latin root for their legislative bodies.
Many countries use their Romance language equivalent of 'congress'—Italy's 'Parlamento,' Portugal's 'Assembléia,' but you still hear 'Congresso' in historical and formal contexts.
