Definition
Characterized by or engaging in connivance; secretly cooperating with or tacitly approving something improper.
Etymology
From Latin 'connivans,' the present participle of 'connivere' (to wink at, overlook). The adjectival form adds '-ant' to describe something actively doing the conniving.
Kelly Says
This word is so rare that most English speakers have never encountered it, even though 'conniving' is common—they're related but connivant is the original Latin adjectival form that didn't make it into modern usage.
