Etymology : Colloquy may make you think of colloquial, and there is indeed a connection between the two words. As a matter of fact, colloquy is the parent word from which colloquial was coined in the mid-18th century. Colloquy itself, though now the less common of the two words, has been a part of the English language since the 15th century. It is a descendant of Latin loqu?, meaning “to speak.” Other descendants of loqu? in English include eloquent, loquacious, ventriloquism, and soliloquy, as well as elocution and interlocutor .
