Definition
协同 (xiétóng) is a formal verb meaning 'to cooperate/collaborate' with an emphasis on coordinated, synergistic action — often used in technical, business, or military contexts (e.g., 协同作战). It is more specialized than the general 合作 (hézuò) and implies a tighter, more structured joint effort than 配合 (pèihé), which often means one side supporting the other.
