A secondary or accompanying effect produced together with a primary effect; a side effect or consequential result.
From co- + effect (from Latin effectus, accomplishment). A modern technical term primarily used in philosophy, biology, and systems analysis.
The term 'coeffect' reveals how modern science thinks about causality—we're moving away from single causes and effects toward understanding that events and changes always involve multiple simultaneous effects rippling through complex systems.
