(co-originate)
begin together / share a common origin
Etymology
'co-originate' originates from Latin, specifically from the prefix 'com-' (appearing as 'co-' in English compounds) and the verb 'originare', where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'origo/origin-' meant 'beginning' or 'source'.
'originare' in Latin gave rise to Late Latin and Old French forms and entered English as 'originate' in Middle English; the English prefix 'co-' (from Latin 'com-') was attached to form 'co-originate' to indicate joint action or source.
Initially the elements meant 'together' + 'to give a beginning' (i.e., 'begin together'); over time the compound has come to mean 'to have or share a common origin' or 'to originate jointly'.
