Usage Notes or Etymology
The word “konvensi” is a loanword from the Latin conventio, meaning a meeting or agreement. In the Indonesian linguistic and administrative context, the term has shifted from referring simply to a meeting toward meaning the “rules” or “standards” agreed upon by a community or corporation. The term is frequently encountered in technical documentation, academic writing guidelines, or company standard operating procedures to maintain consistency in formatting and stylistic choices.
