Root Explanation

Codriver → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "driver" (from Old English "drīfan", meaning to drive). The word "codriver" refers to a person who drives together with another driver, typically sharing the driving responsibilities.

Memory Tip

Think of two people driving "together" ('co-') — that's why a codriver is someone who shares the driving.
