Coinherent

/koʊɪnˈhɪrənt/ adjective

Definition

sticking together closely; united and inseparable through mutual connection.

Etymology

From co- + inherent (from Latin inhaerens, sticking in). Inherent means belonging naturally or inseparably, so coinherent adds the sense of mutual or joint connection.

Kelly Says

The ancient philosophy of hylomorphism taught that matter and form are coinherent—you can't have a physical object without both, and they're absolutely fused together.
