Willing to overlook or ignore something wrong; showing connivance or complicity.
From Latin 'connivens,' present participle of 'connivere' (to wink at, overlook). The term maintains its Latin form in English, preserving the original sense of closing one's eyes to wrongdoing.
In biology, 'connivent' also describes plant parts that come together or converge without quite touching—like a secret between friends. It's one of those rare words that works in both ethical and botanical contexts!
