colegislate

Where it comes from

From co- + legislate. Owing to its relative frequency, and legislate too having been back-formed, probably often back-formation from colegislator.

verb colegislates · colegislating · colegislated · co-legislate

  1. uncommon To necessarily bring about a statute together with another legislative body or legislature, to be a colegislator. Even in Congress the States seem to bear a major vote. No act has gone beyond federal limits—many important ones have stopped far short. The States, on the other hand, keep up an almost incessant siege. There is scarcely an article which some of them have not co­legislated upon.
