Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term derives from the prefix co- (together, mutually) combined with valent (from Latin valent-, present participle of valere 'be strong, have value'), originating in early 20th-century chemistry to describe the sharing of valence electrons between atoms. Bonding traces back to Old German and Old English roots referring to a band or tie. Together, the compound phrase represents the chemical mechanism established by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916.
