Coadjutement

/koʊˌæd.dʒuːt.ˈmənt/ noun

Definition

The action or process of helping and assisting together with another person or group.

Etymology

From co- + adjutement (assistance), built on the Latin adjutare (to help). This noun variant was preferred in certain regional legal traditions and ecclesiastical documents across Medieval Europe.

Kelly Says

Latin legal documents used different -ment endings to distinguish between slightly different types of shared help—coadjutement was more formal than simple 'assistance'!
