October 2008Just Foolin' AroundBlame it on politics: bipartisan rose to #30 in our list of most looked up words, as Web site users watching Washington checked for the dictionary definition of that term. Bipartisan efforts are those involving or marked by accord or cooperation between two major political parties; that definition inspired us to fool around with other terms of cooperation. Plugging cooperation into the Definition field of the Unabridged Dictionary produces a total of 62 terms which use cooperation in their definitions. Plenty of these terms are political in nature; others extend beyond the political sphere. See some of our favorites.
Interested in collecting terms of accord? Click on Advanced Search and then narrow the results by typing adjective into the Function field and accord into the Definition field. Of the 202 entries, a great many included according, not accord, so we suggest sticking with the more cooperative cooperation for your Definition search term. |
