English: the meaning of coeval

The tutor shares his discovery of the word coeval.

According to the Oxford Canadian Dictionary(2005), coeval can be an adjective, meaning of the same period or age. It can also be a noun, meaning a person contemporary with another.

Perhaps one could say that two people graduating this year are coeval, or that they are coevals.
