Etymology
'uncoordination' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'coordination,' which comes from Latin 'coordinatio,' meaning 'arrangement in order.'
'Uncoordination' evolved from the combination of 'un-' and 'coordination' in modern English.
Initially, it meant 'lack of arrangement in order,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lack of coordination in movements or actions.'
