'co-develop' originates from the prefix 'co-' meaning 'together' and the verb 'develop', which comes from Old French 'desveloper', meaning 'to unwrap'.

'desveloper' transformed into the English word 'develop', and with the addition of the prefix 'co-', it became 'co-develop'.

Initially, 'develop' meant 'to unwrap or unfold', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to create or improve something'.
