cooperate
Join forces willingly
To cooperate is to work together toward a shared goal or to comply with a request.
Nations cooperate on trade agreements; witnesses cooperate with investigators.
The word implies willingness—cooperation under duress is coercion.
The children refused to cooperate.
If everyone cooperates, this will go smoothly.
