Etymology

The word 'cohere' originates from the Latin term 'cohaerere,' which means 'to stick together' or 'to adhere.' This etymon combines 'co-' meaning 'together' and 'haerere,' which means 'to stick' or 'to cling.' The term was adopted into Middle English and has evolved over time to encompass both physical and abstract uses of connection. The concept of coherence is crucial in various fields, from physics, where it describes molecular interactions, to philosophy, where it pertains to the logical connectedness of ideas. As such, it plays a significant role in understanding structural integrity in science and clarity in reasoning in humanities.
