coordinates
Paired position values
Coordinates are numbers that identify a position in space—on a map, a graph, or the earth's surface.
GPS coordinates pinpoint locations using latitude and longitude: I'll send you the coordinates.
In math, coordinates specify points on axes.
The word also names matching separates in clothing: a set of coordinates in navy and cream.
