collusion
- /kəˈluːʒən/
Where it comes from
Dated from the 14th century C.E. as Middle English collusioun, collusion; from Old French collusion, from Latin collusio (“act of colluding”).
noun collusions
- A private, cooperative agreement or arrangement between groups that otherwise maintain the pretense of competition, contention or non-cooperation. Furthermore, there is good reason for firms to try to collude without express communication, and thus find themselves dealing with less than full mutual understanding.
