a person who dwells or lives together with another person in shared accommodation.
From co- + inhabitor (variant of inhabitant, from Latin inhabitare). Both forms mean shared dweller, with coinhabitor emphasizing the 'co-' aspect.
The word coinhabitor appears in old legal documents about property disputes—when coinhabitators couldn't agree on maintaining a shared house, courts had to decide their rights.
