Coindicant

/koʊˈɪndɪkənt/ adjective

Definition

pointing to or indicating something together with other signs or evidence.

Etymology

From Latin co- (together) + indicare (to point out). An indicant is something that shows or reveals, so coindicant means multiple things pointing to the same conclusion.

Kelly Says

Detectives love coindicants—when a suspect's fingerprints, motive, and location all point to guilt together, they're coindicant clues forming a stronger case than any single one alone.
