Concommitant

/kənˈkɒmɪtənt/ adjective, noun

Definition

A thing that occurs or exists together with another, especially as a natural or inevitable consequence; accompanying.

Etymology

Variant spelling of concomitant (with double m), likely a scribal or printing variation that appeared in some historical texts, maintaining identical Latin origins and meaning.

Kelly Says

This double-m spelling is a fascinating ghost word in English—it shows up occasionally in old documents, but most modern dictionaries treat it as a misspelling of 'concomitant,' reminding us that standardized spelling is actually quite recent.
