The act of helping or assisting together with another person in a shared effort.
From Latin co- (together) + adjutamentum (help, assistance). This noun form comes from Medieval Latin legal and administrative vocabulary, where shared assistance was formally acknowledged in official documents and procedures.
Medieval scribes created specialized words like this to precisely describe collaborative work—when you're reading old documents, you can often tell exactly how many people worked together on something just by the specific 'co-' word used!
