Cooperates

/koʊˈɑːpəreɪts/ verb

Definition

Works together with others toward a shared goal or purpose, showing willingness to help and coordinate.

Etymology

From Latin 'cooperāri' (co- 'together' + operāri 'to work'). The prefix 'co-' literally means 'with,' so cooperation is 'working with.'

Kelly Says

The word 'cooperate' is built from 'co-' meaning together—and the most successful organizations, from sports teams to ant colonies, all prove that working together beats working alone!
