A fellow servant; one who serves alongside another person in the same capacity.
From Latin 'co-' (together) + 'servant' (from 'servire' to serve), describing servants of equal rank or status.
In medieval and early modern literature, coservants often form alliances or friendships that rival the bonds between masters and servants, showing how working relationships could create unexpected social structures and loyalties.
