Root Explanation

Coaxially → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "axial" (from Latin "axialis", meaning relating to an axis) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "coaxially" means in a manner that is together along the same axis.

Memory Tip

Think of things being aligned 'together' ('co-') along an 'axis' — that's why coaxially means in a manner that is along the same axis.
