Coordination refers primarily to the process of organizing people or activities so they work together effectively and harmoniously. It also means the harmonious functioning of parts to achieve an effective result. In biological terms, it can describe the ability to use different parts of the body smoothly and efficiently together (motor coordination). In linguistics, it refers to a compound grammatical construction. The term is also used in chemistry to describe coordination complexes involving a central atom and surrounding molecules or ions.
