Noun type
Abstract Noun: "Conviction" is an abstract noun because it refers either to (1) a firmly held belief or opinion, or (2) the legal finding of guilt in a court of law. Both meanings involve intangible states — either mental certainty or legal judgment — rather than physical objects.
It is uncountable when referring to belief or certainty: “She spoke with great conviction about her values.” It is countable when referring to a legal judgment: “He has two prior convictions for theft.”
From Latin convictio, from convincere (“to overcome, prove guilty”), from com- (“together”) + vincere (“to conquer”).
Definition/s
- (Legal) A formal declaration that someone is guilty of a criminal offence, made by the verdict of a jury or the decision of a judge.

Examples
- The jury returned a conviction on all charges.
