Codirectional

/koʊdɪˈrɛkʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Moving, pointing, or oriented in the same direction as something else; having parallel directions.

Etymology

From 'co-' (together) and 'directional' (relating to direction). A mathematical and physical term for aligned orientations.

Kelly Says

In physics, codirectional forces amplify each other—push in the same direction and effects multiply, but opposing forces cancel out, which is why push and pull matter.
