coterminous

Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   Having matching boundaries; or, adjoining and sharing a boundary.

   New York's borough of Brooklyn and Kings County are coterminous.

From Latin conterminus, from con- (“with”) + terminus (“border, end”), equivalent to co- + terminous. The spelling with co- instead of con- is probably influenced by the related prefix co-.
