CONVINCE
Con *vince ", v. t. [imp. & p.p. Convinced; p.pr. & vb. n. Convincing. ]Etym: [L. convincere, -victum, to refute, prove; con- + vincere to conquer. See Victor, and cf. Convict. ]
1. To overpower; to overcome; to subdue or master. [Obs. ] His two chamberlains Will I with wine and wassail so convince That memory, the warder of the brain, Shall be a fume. Shak.
2. To overcome by argument; to force to yield assent to truth; to satisfy by proof. Such convincing proofs and assurances of it as might enable them to convince others. Atterbury.
3. To confute; to prove the fallacy of. [Obs. ] God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. Bacon.
4. To prove guilty; to convinct. [Obs. ] Which of you convinceth me of sin John viii. 46. Seek not to convince me of a crime Which I can ne'er repent, nor you can pardon. Dryden.
Syn. -- To persuade; satisfy; convict. -- To Convince, persuade. To convince is an act of the understanding; to persuade, of the will or feelings. The one is effected by argument, the other by motives. There are cases, however, in which persuade may seem to be used in reference only to the assent of the understanding; as when we say, I am persuaded it is so; I can not persuade myself of the fact. But in such instances there is usually or always a degree of awakened feeling which has had its share in producing the assent of the understanding.

convince
con vince |kənˈvins kənˈvɪns | ▶verb [ with obj. ] cause (someone ) to believe firmly in the truth of something: Robert's expression had obviously convinced her of his innocence | [ with obj. and clause ] : you couldn't convince him that a floppy disk was as good as a manuscript. • persuade (someone ) to do something: she convinced my father to branch out on his own. DERIVATIVES con vinc er noun, con vin ci ble adjective ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the sense ‘overcome, defeat in argument ’): from Latin convincere, from con- ‘with ’ + vincere ‘conquer. ’ Compare with convict . usage: Although it is common to see convince and persuade used interchangeably, there are distinctions in meaning that careful writers and speakers try to preserve. Convince derives from a Latin word meaning ‘conquer, overcome. ’ Persuade derives from a Latin word meaning ‘advise, make appealing, sweeten. ’ One can convince or persuade someone with facts or arguments, but, in general, convincing is limited to the mind, while persuasion results in action (just as dissuasion results in nonaction ): the prime minister convinced the council that delay was pointless; the senator persuaded her colleagues to pass the legislation.

convince
con |vince |kənˈvɪns | ▶verb [ with obj. ] cause (someone ) to believe firmly in the truth of something: Robert's expression had obviously convinced her of his innocence | [ with obj. and clause ] : we had to convince politicians that they needed to do something. • [ with obj. and infinitive ] persuade (someone ) to do something: she convinced my father to branch out on his own. DERIVATIVES convincer noun, convincible adjective ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (in the sense ‘overcome, defeat in argument ’): from Latin convincere, from con- ‘with ’ + vincere ‘conquer ’. Compare with convict . usage: Convince used (with an infinitive ) as a synonym for persuade first became common in the 1950s in the US, as in she convinced my father to branch out on his own. Some traditionalists deplore the blurring of distinction between convince and persuade, maintaining that convince should be reserved for situations in which someone's belief is changed but no action is taken as a result ( he convinced me that he was right ) while persuade should be used for situations in which action results ( he persuaded me rather than he convinced me to seek more advice ). In practice the newer use is well established.
