Couniversal

/ˌkoʊˈjuːnɪvɜːrsəl/ adjective

Definition

A rare philosophical or linguistic term suggesting something that is universal together or shared as a common characteristic across multiple things.

Etymology

From co- (Latin prefix meaning together) plus universal (from Latin universalis, comprising all), creating a term for shared or mutual universality.

Kelly Says

Couniversal is barely used in modern English—it's mostly found in historical philosophical texts—but it points to an interesting idea: some things aren't just individually universal but are 'universally universal' because everyone shares them!
