The word for today is…
collude (verb):
: to work together secretly especially in order to do something illegal or dishonest
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology : Our English “lude” words (allude, collude, delude, elude, and prelude) are based on the Latin verb ludere, meaning “to play.” Collude dates back to 1525 and combines ludere and the prefix col-, meaning “with” or “together.” The verb is younger than the related noun collusion, which appeared sometime in the 14th century with the specific meaning “secret agreement or cooperation.” Despite their playful history, collude and collusion have always suggested deceit or trickery rather than good-natured fun.
