From the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X:

27 Q. Which is the noblest creature God has placed on earth? 
A. The noblest creature God has placed on earth is man.

28 Q. What is man? 
A. Man is a rational creature composed of soul and body.

29 Q. What is the soul?
A. The soul is the noblest part of man, because it is a spiritual substance, endowed with intelligence and will, capable of knowing God and of possessing Him for all eternity.

Having claiming to have taught Latin for 23 years, I would think you know the root word of "conscience" is scio which means "I know".

Of course I know the Latin. I just don’t get your point.
