Etymology
1. c.1300, from Anglo-Fr.
conveier, from O.Fr.
convoier "to escort," from V.L.
*conviare "to accompany on the way," from L.
com- "together" +
via "way, road." It was a euphemism for "steal" 15c.-17c., which helped broaden its meaning.
2. From Middle English conveien, from Old French conveier (French convoyer), from Vulgar Latin *convio, from Classical Latin via (“way”). Compare convoy. See: Old French '
conveier', French '
convoyer'.
