Born or existing at the same time; existing together from birth or origin.
From co- (together) + -adnate (from Latin adnatus, meaning 'born to' or 'innate'). The Latin ad- means 'to' and natus means 'born.' This botanical and biological term describes structures that grew together from inception.
In botany, 'coadnate' describes leaf structures or plant parts that fused together as they grew—they didn't just touch, they developed as one unit from the start, which is a completely different biological story.
