Definition
To win or succeed together with another person; to achieve joint victory.
Etymology
From co- (together) + twin or win, though the etymology is somewhat obscure. The word appears in older texts but is rarely used in modern English, possibly conflating 'twin' with 'win.'
Kelly Says
Cotwin is a ghost word—it barely exists in modern English, which suggests that language has survival rules where some words simply lose the competition for speaker attention, even when they follow perfectly logical grammar rules.
