What say you? Is "togetherness" relatively new?
--------------------------------------
I'd have said it had been around all my life, which would make it relatively
old, and I'd have been right, according to the OED (which I borrowed from JL),
for the first citation is from 1656. There's also a cite from the venerable
philosophical Journal, The Monist: 'This togetherness must not be referr'd to
the time but to the way of knowledge.' (1892).
