Cotraitor

/koʊˈtreɪ.tər/ noun

Definition

A person who commits treason together with another person; a joint traitor.

Etymology

From prefix 'co-' (together) + 'traitor' (one who betrays). The co- prefix comes from Latin and indicates a shared action or condition.

Kelly Says

The prefix 'co-' actually tells a story of collaboration—whether it's cotractors building together or cotraitors conspiring together, it reminds us that many historical betrayals required multiple people working against a common authority.
