Root Explanation

Coexistence is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "existere" (meaning to exist). The word describes the state of existing together in the same place or at the same time.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('co-') and 'existing' ('existere') — that's why coexistence means living or being together.
