A person who develops or proposes a theory together with another person or group.
From 'co-' (together) + 'theorist' (one who develops theories), following the modern prefix pattern for joint participation.
Science thrives on 'cotheorists'—think of how Curie and Einstein built on each other's work, yet we often credit only one person in textbooks, erasing collaborative breakthroughs.
