The word for today is…

collaborate (verb):

1 : to work with another person or group in order to achieve or do something  
2 disapproving : to give help to an enemy who has invaded your country during a war

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/collaborate?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : The Latin prefix com-, meaning “with, together, or jointly,” is a bit of a chameleon—it has a tricky habit of changing its appearance depending on what it’s next to. If the word it precedes begins with l, com- becomes col- (as in colleague, collect, and collide). In the case of collaborate, com- teamed up with laborare (“to labor”) to form Late Latin collaborare (“to labor together”).
