A person who shares in the same love or affection; a joint lover or beloved.
From co- (together) + amor (Latin for love). This poetic term combines the prefix for 'together' with amor to describe shared romantic feelings or multiple people loving the same person.
Medieval and Renaissance poetry used 'coenamor' to explore the drama of triangular love situations—think of it as the English word that never quite stuck around because 'love rival' and 'beloved' were simpler.
