Having or relating to a shared axis or central line; designed to share the same axis, especially in technical or mechanical contexts.
From 'co-' (together) + 'axial' (from Latin 'axis' meaning a rod or pin around which something rotates). This technical term became standardized in engineering and electronics.
Coaxal cables are everywhere in your home—they carry TV and internet signals, and they work because two conductors share the same axis, which shields the signal from electromagnetic interference and keeps it clean!
