(adj.) Linked, as two or more agreements or contracts (such as leases), so that both expire or terminate at the same time.
Note the confusion caused by the similarity of the -usending (a case marker, here, the nominative ending of the second-declension Latin noun terminus) to -ous (an adjectival ending). "Coterminous" is (correctly) an adjective, meaning "having the same boundaries; of the same duration." "Coterminus" is more correctly a noun, meaning perhaps the shared beginning or ending point (the terminus) of something that is "coterminous."
The use of "coterminus" as an adjective is arguably incorrect.
What else can I help you with?
How do you spell coterminus?
Both coterminus and coterminous are used, only the -ous is included in most sources. "COTERMINUS" (listed as a business variant) : two or more linked business contracts, set to expire at the same time. COTERMINOUS (accepted spelling): having the same coverage, range, or scope (coterminal, coextensive)
What angles intersect each other?
Angles do not normally intersect one another, although coterminus angles may be said to.
What is the correct spelling co-terminus or coterminous?
Both terms are used, only the -ous is included in most sources. "COTERMINUS" (listed as a business variant) : two or more linked business contracts, set to expire at the same time. COTERMINOUS (accepted spellings): having the same coverage, range, or scope (coextensive) COTERMINAL : having a common end point (as in geometric angles) CONTERMINOUS : having a common end or boundary
Is an angle made of any two rays?
No. Two rays can be parallel and so would never form an angle. Also, an angle (a single one as opposed to a quartet of angles) is formed by two coterminus line segments. That is to say, the line segments stop where they meet. A ray goes on forever in both directions.
