We could say that all living people are contemporaneous but not necessarily coetaneous; they live at different age levels.
-- Harold C. Raley, A Watch Over Mortality

Coetaneous stems from the Latin roots co- meaning "with, together with," ætat- meaning "age," and the suffix -aneus (which is an adjectival suffix meaning "resembling").
