Coworking

/ˌkoʊˈwɜrkɪŋ/ noun

Definition

A style of working where people from different companies or projects share an office space and work independently while collaborating informally.

Etymology

From 'co-' (prefix meaning together, from Latin) + 'working' (present participle of work, from Old English 'weorc'). This modern term emerged in the 2000s as remote work and freelancing became more common.

Kelly Says

Coworking spaces became popular because they solved a real problem for freelancers and remote workers who missed the social interaction and energy of traditional offices—it's basically creating a 'water cooler' culture without being tied to one company.
