Relating to coordination or things arranged in equal rank or parallel relationship.
From coordinate plus the suffix -al (meaning 'of or relating to'). Derived from Latin 'coordinalis,' though this exact form is quite rare in modern English.
In grammar, 'coordinal' describes how commas join independent clauses of equal importance—the word itself enacts the equality it describes by treating both the word's parts and clauses as balanced partners.
