What is a "co-hyponym"?
A co-hyponym is a word that shares the same category or group with another word, but both are specific examples of a broader term. For example, "dog" and "cat" are co-hyponyms because they both fall under the broader category of "animals," but they refer to different types of animals. Co-hyponyms are important in understanding how language organizes ideas and objects into related categories, helping to see how specific terms fit into larger systems of meaning within a language.
