Pronounced: SIG-moyd, adj
Notes: A new word for me
Yesterday’s word
The word sympatric means “occurring in the same geographical area”
First usage
Our word came into English in the 1900s (1900-1909)
Background / Comments
Our word comes from the Greeks words sym-, an adaptation of syn-, (together) and patria (homeland), which came from pater (father). Having seen the origins of our word, the definition makes sense.
