An archaic word for a guest at a banquet or feast; a dining companion.
From Latin conviva (a table companion, guest), from com- (with) and vivere (to live). The word literally means 'one who lives with others' at a meal.
Convive is wonderfully descriptive—it captures the Roman idea that eating together is fundamentally about sharing life (vivere). When you're a convive, you're not just sharing food; you're sharing time and existence with others.
