Etymology
In summary
Possibly from a hypothetical Vulgar Latin *conquīsītāre, from Latin conquīsītus, perfect passive participle of conquīrō; alternatively, it may simply be an internal formation, as a derivation of conquista, from the feminine past participle of Old Spanish conquerir, which this verb replaced over time.
