The term combines 'conventional' (from Latin conventionalis, derived from conventio meaning agreement or meeting) and 'wisdom' (from Old English wisdōm). It was popularized in the mid-20th century by economist John Kenneth Galbraith in his 1958 book 'The Affluent Society' to describe ideas or explanations that are widely accepted simply because they are familiar and convenient.
