ETYMOLOGY:

From Latin co- (with) + aequus (level, equal). Earliest documented use: 1583.

USAGE:

“Agatha Christie’s ‘The Secret Adversary’ firmly establishes the coequality of investigative duo Tommy and Tuppence.”

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas-covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal, is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
