collabore

Collabore is the third-person singular present indicative form of the French verb collaborer, meaning to work together with others on a common task or project. It is used to describe a subject actively participating in cooperative work. For example: Il collabore avec ses collègues sur le projet; elle collabore au développement du logiciel. The form also appears as the imperative for informal address: collabore!

Etymology and related terms: collabore derives from Latin collaborare, built from com- meaning “together” and laborare meaning “to work.” Related nouns include la collaboration and le collaborateur (the collaborator or coworker). Adjectives include collaboratif or collaborative, used to describe methods, tools, or environments that foster joint work.

Usage: In French texts, collabore frequently appears in academic, corporate, and media contexts to denote active joint effort among individuals or teams, often in relation to research, development, or project work. It is commonly paired with nouns like projet, équipe, and partenaires.

Note: In English-language writing, collabore is unusual and typically appears only as a loanword or in bilingual contexts; the standard English forms are collaborate (verb) and collaboration (noun). For non-English speakers, recognizing collabore as the French conjugation of collaborer can aid understanding of sentences describing cooperative activity.
