🌳Etymology
Origin
From Latin, formed by combining 'co-' (together) and 'exist' (to be), literally meaning 'to be together'. The word entered English through the combination of the Latin prefix co- with the verb existere, developing the sense of existing simultaneously or in the same place and time.
Breakdown
co- (together) + exist (from Latin existere, to be/stand forth) + -ent (adjective-forming suffix indicating state or quality).
