Root Explanation

Coevally → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "aevus" (meaning age or era), combined with the adverbial suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word "coevally" means in a manner that relates to or exists at the same time or age as something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('co-') and 'age' ('aevus') to remember that 'coevally' refers to things that exist at the same time.
