[edit] Etymology

< Mediaeval Latin coordinatus, pp. of coordinare (“‘arrange together’”) < Latin co- (“‘together’”) + ordinare (“‘arrange’”). See ordain and ordinate.

[edit] Noun

coordinate (plural coordinates)

1. (mathematics, cartography) A number representing the position of a point along a line, arc, or similar one-dimensional figure.

[edit] Usage notes

The usual pronunciation of ‘oo’ is /uː/ or /ʊ/. The dieresis in the spelling coördinate emphasizes that the second o begins a separate syllable. However, the dieresis is becoming increasingly rare in US English typography, so the spelling coordinate predominates.
