Morphology

convocant = convoke (opaque) = con + voke + ant

Although formationally convoke + -ant is regular, the meaning 'a person who has been summoned' contradicts the usual agent/participial semantics and is not predictable.

Etymology

Convocant comes from the parts con- 'together' and voc- 'to call', and it can also mean a person who has been 'called' to a meeting. In this sense a convocant is an invited person expected to attend and take part.
