Etymology
Coined by Atis Kronvalds in the 1870s, from sirds (“heart[gen.]”) + apziņa (“awareness, consciousness”). It became dominant in the 1890s, replacing the use of the simple word sirds in the spoken language. In the written language, various authors had used and proposed various combinations of words from the 17th century on, apparently attempting to translate German Gewissen: apzināšana, zināma sirds, zinoša sirds, apzināma sirds, sirdsprāts.

Gewissen'.
