A shared or mutual interest that two or more people have in common.
From co- (together) + interest (from Latin interesse, meaning 'to concern' or 'to matter'). The combination describes interests held jointly by multiple parties.
Medieval merchants used similar terms when describing shared business ventures—cointerest was literally having a stake in the same profitable deal, which is still how modern stock partnerships work.
