Word origin
[1895–1900; co- + dominant]This word is first recorded in the period 1895–1900. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: Marxism, apothecaries' measure, backstage, cutback, slapstickco- is a prefix meaning “with,” “together,” “in association,” sometimes with the derivedsense “auxiliary, subsidiary” (coenzyme; copilot), and, in mathematics and astronomy, with the sense “complement” (codeclination)
