The quality or state of cooperating or working together with others.
From 'cooperate' + '-ancy' (a suffix creating nouns from adjectives or verbs). Cooperate itself comes from Latin 'cooperari' (co- meaning 'together' + operari meaning 'to work'). The suffix '-ancy' is similar to '-ence' and denotes a condition or quality.
Cooperancy is a rare word that captures something important: it's not just the act of cooperating once, but the very nature or characteristic of being able to work together. This word shows how language evolved specialized terms for abstract human qualities, especially ones valuable to society.
