Root Explanation

Coevolving → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "evolve" (from Latin "evolvere", meaning to unroll or develop). The word "coevolving" means developing together, often used in the context of species or systems that influence each other's evolution.

Memory Tip

Think of things that develop 'together' ('co-') and 'unroll' or 'develop' ('evolve') — that's what coevolving means.
