‘conscious’ and ‘conscience’ derive from the same Latin roots—the prefix com- (“with,” “together,” “jointly”) and the verb scire (“to know”), and the combination, conscire, means “to be aware of guilt”—and both relate to a state of awareness, the first of a physical or mental wakefulness in which a person is aware of and responding to their surroundings; and the second of a person’s moral awareness of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one’s behaviour
