Is convenience a verb?

I heard some people use inconvenience as a verb.

But I rarely heard people use convenience as a verb.

I'm not sure if it is also usable.

Thank you.

Nor PriestI heard some people use inconvenience as a verb. Yes, it is also a verb.
But I rarely heard people use convenience as a verb. That's because it's not a verb.

It sounds strange to me.

Inconvenience = noun, verb
convenience = noun only

Since both words end in -ce, so it would make more sense if either convenience is considered a verb, or inconvenience is not considered a verb.

My bottom line is they all end in -ce, so they should be equal.

For example,
Indifference and difference are nouns.
Elegance and i
