A person who settles or colonizes land together with others; one of multiple settlers in a new region.
From 'co-' (together) + 'settler' (one who settles, from 'settle'). The term describes shared colonial or settlement activities, though it's rare in modern usage.
Early colonial records used 'cosettler' to distinguish between the main founder of a settlement and the others who came alongside them—it's a window into how communities were actually built and shared responsibility.
