Following accepted customs, traditions, or standards; ordinary or typical rather than innovative or unusual. Based on general agreement or established practice.
From Latin 'conventionalis,' from 'conventio' (agreement, assembly), from 'convenire' (to come together). Originally referred to things agreed upon by convention or assembly. The modern meaning of 'traditional' developed in the 18th century.
Conventional behavior is what happens when people 'come together' and agree on the 'normal' way to do things. It's like following an unwritten social contract - safe, predictable, but not necessarily exciting!
