Phrase | co- |
Text | In this podcast, the prefix "co-" is used to show that two things are working together or two people are sharing something, usually equally: "Does the co-pilot have as much training and experience as the main pilot?" A "co-star" is one of two actors who share leading roles in a movie: "It must be hard to be a co-star with such a famous actress." A "co-op" refers to a "cooperative," or a business that is owned by all the people who work and/or shop there: "Kylie prefers to shop at the local co-op instead of a big chain grocery store." Finally, as a verb, to "co-opt" means to persuade someone do something, especially if he or she doesn't really want to do it: "How did they co-opt you into volunteering to be the committee chairperson?" |
