Coinitial

/koʊɪˈnɪʃəl/ adjective

Definition

Starting at the same point or beginning together at the same time.

Etymology

From co- (together) + initial (from Latin initialis: initiare, to begin). Formed in philosophical and scientific discourse to describe concurrent beginnings.

Kelly Says

In geometry, two lines that share the same starting point are coinitial—they have a common origin. It's a precise way of saying 'they begin together at the exact same spot.'
