A rare or archaic term for a joint torture or shared suffering; possibly a legal or historical term related to mutual punishment.
From co- (together) plus torment, suggesting shared suffering or punishment administered equally to multiple parties.
Most 'co-' legal terms died out, but cotorment appears occasionally in medieval legal documents describing punishment administered jointly—language evolves to drop concepts we no longer use.
