The act of ploughing or tilling soil together with another person or animal.
From co- plus ploughing (from Old English 'plōh,' the tool). This agricultural term reflects communal farming practices where multiple workers or animals worked the same field simultaneously.
Medieval farming relied on co-ploughing with multiple oxen teams and shared labor—communities would work fields together, and many old nursery rhymes reference 'ploughing' because it was such a central social and economic activity.
