convalecer: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que tanto el verbo "convalecer" como sus derivados proceden de formas latinas en las que se encuentra el grupo -sc- ("convalescĕre", "convalescentia" y "convalescentis"), actualmente solo se consideran adecuadas en español las que contienen este grupo simplificado: "convalecer", "convalecencia" y "convaleciente". 3, record 1, Spanish, - convalecer
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
[...] no se consideran hoy correctas las formas "convalescer", "convalescencia" ni "convalesciente", en lugar de las normales "convalecer", "convalecencia" (recuperación tras una enfermedad) y "convaleciente" (que convalece). 4, record 1, Spanish, - convalecer
