synergist
Cooperative effect enhancer
A synergist is something that works together with another to produce an effect greater than either could achieve alone.
In pharmacology, a synergist is a drug that enhances another drug's action.
In anatomy, a synergist muscle assists a primary muscle in performing a movement: The brachialis acts as a synergist to the biceps during elbow flexion.
