differentiation[edit]

Coterminous, now the most frequently used of these words, is an altered form of the original conterminous. It, too, means “coextensive in extent or duration.” For the sake of differentiation, coterminous should be confined to this figurative or metaphorical sense, and conterminous reserved for physical and tangible senses --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:01, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
