the act of living or dwelling in the same place together.
From co- (together) + indwelling (dwelling within). Dwell comes from Old English dwellan (to remain or linger). Coindwelling emphasizes shared habitation.
Before 'roommate' became common, coindwelling described the reality of multiple families or individuals sharing one home—a situation that shaped everything from medieval manor houses to modern apartments.
