Morphology

convocant = convocate (semi-transparent) = con + voc + ant

If a learner knows the verb 'convocate', the adjective meaning 'serving to call together' follows directly from standard Latinate '-ant' formation.

Convocant comes from the parts con- 'together' and voc- 'to call', the same root you see in vocal or voice. So a convocant thing is something that calls people to gather, like a bell or a notice.
