A person who shares legislative power or serves alongside other lawmakers in creating or voting on laws.
Formed from English 'co-' (jointly) plus 'legislator' (from Latin 'legis' = law + 'lator' = proposer); used in political contexts to describe members of legislative bodies.
The design of most parliaments and congresses creates colegislators by necessity—no single person can pass a law alone—which is why so much legislative time goes to negotiation and compromise rather than individual decision-making!
