Etymology
Middle English confecten "to prepare by combining ingredients, blend, spice or sweeten," borrowed from Medieval Latin confectus, past participle of conficere "to bring together, compose, compound (a drug or medication)," going back to Latin, "to carry out, perform, make, bring about, collect, bring to completion," from con- con- + facere "to make, bring about, perform, do" — more at fact
Note: The meanings of Medieval Latin conficere depend to a degree on its vernacular equivalent in Gallo-Romance; see note at comfit.
