concipere

Hello,

The Oxford English Dictionary says the Latin word "concipere" means "to conceive". It also says "con-" means "altogether" while "capere" means "to take". My question is: how does "to take altogether" mean "to conceive"? I'm assuming "to conceive" means "to become pregnant with (young)" here.

Thanks in advance.
