co-occurs

Shows up together

Co-occurs means appears or happens together with something else.

The term is common in linguistics and statistics, where researchers examine which words or phenomena tend to co-occur: In English, "strong" co-occurs with "tea" while "powerful" co-occurs with "engine".

The hyphen is standard but sometimes dropped.
