Cooperations

/koʊˌɒpəˈreɪʃənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of cooperation; multiple instances or forms of working together.

Etymology

The plural form of 'cooperation,' which comes from Old French 'cooperation' and Latin 'cooperatio' (the act of working together). The '-ions' ending is the standard English plural for words ending in '-ion'.

Kelly Says

The plural form reminds us that cooperation isn't a single thing—different groups cooperate in different ways for different reasons. In international relations, studying 'cooperations' helps diplomats understand which partnerships work and which collapse.
