Coenomonoecism

/ˌsiːnoʊmɒnoʊˈiːsɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A reproductive condition where all individuals in a population share both male and female reproductive organs.

Etymology

From Greek koinos (common) + monos (single/one) + oikos (house) + -ism (condition), describing a population where hermaphroditism is universal.

Kelly Says

In coenomonoecism, every single organism is bisexual—like a species where no individual is strictly male or female, which reduces conflict over mating but requires careful self-regulation.
