Etymology

Derived from Latin concomitari ("to accompany"), combining con- (together) and comitari (to accompany, from comes "companion"). The morpheme comit evolved from comes, reflecting the idea of partnership or association. The suffix -ant denotes a quality or state, forming an adjective. The word entered English in the 17th century, retaining its original sense of "occurring together."
