Etymology

Etymology Information

'co-release' originates from the combining prefix 'co-' (from Latin 'com-') meaning 'together' and the verb 'release' (from Old French 'releser', ultimately from Latin 'relaxare') where 'relaxare' meant 'to loosen, set free'.

Historical Evolution

'co-' was attached to English verbs and nouns as a combining form in modern English; 'release' passed from Old French 'releser' into Middle English as 'relesen' and became modern English 'release'. The compound 'co-release' emerged in modern usage (notably 20th century) in contexts like publishing and music to mean 'to release together'.

Meaning Changes

The components originally meant 'together' and 'to loosen/set free'; combined in modern usage they came to mean 'to issue or publish together' (i.e., a joint release).
