Usage notes
Both caen-/caeno-/cæn-/cæno- and coen-/coeno-/cœn-/cœno- have an alternative form of ceno-, which reduces them to homographic forms, and they are also homophonic in any case (regardless of spelling alternatives); thus, they are easily confused. Meanwhile, the related prefix cen- intentionally blends them, although that fact is not etymonically apparent.
