Given a locally convex space $(\mathcal{ A},\tau)$ with a Hausdorff locally convex topology $\tau$ such that the following maps are continuous; $u \mapsto u^*$ for all $u \in \mathcal{ A}$, $x \mapsto x\cdot y$ and $x \mapsto z\cdot x$ for every left and right multipliers of $\mathcal{ A}$. In this paper we re-characterized the locally convex partial $*$-algebra $(\mathcal{ A}, \Gamma,\cdot,*,\tau)$ arising from these continuous maps in terms of convolution algebra of a Lie groupoid $\Gamma \rightrightarrows \mathcal{ A}$. This is advantageous because the pathologies of the underlying spaces owing to their quantum mechanical nature are easily resolved in groupoid terms.
