The answer
COVEN
What coven means
A group of witches, traditionally believed to number thirteen, who gather together for magical rituals and ceremonies.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *coven*, likely borrowed from Old French *covine* or *covene*, meaning a gathering or agreement. The Old French word may derive from Latin *convenire*, meaning "to come together" or "assemble," from *com-* (together) and *venire* (to come). The modern association with witches crystallized in the 16th and 17th centuries during witch trials, though the word itself simply meant any secretive group or meeting.
