Cogracious

/koʊˈɡreɪʃəs/ adjective

Definition

Gracious or courteous together; showing mutual grace or kindness.

Etymology

From the prefix 'co-' combined with 'gracious,' a rare English construction meaning 'gracious in reciprocal ways.'

Kelly Says

This is an extremely rare word that most modern dictionaries don't include—it represents a moment when English speakers were experimenting with 'co-' prefixes to describe mutual feelings, an experiment that never caught on.
