Definition
Sharing divine nature or attributes equally with another, particularly used in theological contexts to describe the relationship between Christ and God the Father.
Etymology
From co- (together, jointly) + divine (from Latin divinus, godlike). The prefix co- combines with divine to indicate a shared or joint divine quality.
Kelly Says
This word emerged in Christian theological debates where church scholars needed precise language to describe whether Christ was equally divine or subordinate to God. It's a perfect example of how religious argument actually shaped English vocabulary.
