Morphology

convenance = convene (semi-transparent) = convene + ance

The noun appears formed from 'convene' + '-ance' so the structure is visible, but the meaning 'agreement' is a specialized extension of 'coming together' and may not be obvious to learners.

Etymology

Convenance comes from Latin parts con- 'with' and venire 'to come', so it means 'coming together' and is a helpful way to remember it as an 'agreement' people reach after meeting.
