Etymology

From Latin 'co-' meaning 'together' and 'symmedian' from 'sym-' meaning 'with' and 'median' from Latin 'medianus' meaning 'middle'. This is a mathematical term from advanced geometry.

Kelly Says

Symmedians and cosymmedians are beautiful geometric objects that mathematicians discovered only in the 1800s—they're related to angle bisectors but in a sophisticated way that reveals hidden symmetries in triangles.
