Meaning:
"Coessential" means having the same essence or nature as another being. It is often used in theological contexts to describe the relationship between God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ).
Origin:
The term "coessential" originated in the 4th century as a theological concept to define the relationship between God the Father and the Son. The belief in the coessentiality of the Father and Son was first formally defined at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD and was later reaffirmed at the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD.
The concept of coessentiality was developed to counter the teachings of Arianism, which held that Jesus Christ was a created being and not fully divine. The Nicene Creed, which was adopted at the Council of Nicaea, declared that the Son was "God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father."
The term "consubstantial" (meaning "of the same substance") was used in the Nicene Creed as a synonym for "coessential." Over time, the term "coessential" became the more common term used to describe the relationship between God the Father and the Son.
