PrefixEdit
co-
- together; mutually; jointly
- partner or subordinate in an activity
- to the same degree
- (mathematics) of the opposite, of the counterpart; dual
Usage notesEdit
- With many terms, a hyphen (-) is used in British English (e.g. co-operate), which is omitted in informal American English (e.g. cooperate). In formal American English the second vowel would be decorated with a diaeresis (coöperate), although this usage is rare and somewhat fussy.
