PRONUNCIATION:

(kuhn-KOM-i-tuhns)

MEANING:

noun
1. Occurrence or existence together or in connection with another.
2. Something that occurs or exists in connection with another.

ETYMOLOGY:

From Latin concomitari (to accompany), from con- (with) + comitari (to accompany), from Latin comes (companion), from com- (with) + ire (to go). Earliest documented use: before 1535.

NOTES:

Etymologically, concomitance is with with. The word comes accompanied by its own companion. With with is better than without without, or even with without.

USAGE:

“Sometimes, I almost think my husband and I have reached sublime concomitance. Two hearts that beat almost as one.”
Lila Cohen; Of Heartbeats and Heartthrobs; Hartford Courant (Connecticut); Feb 12, 2006.
