Root Explanation

Copublisher → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "publisher" (from Old French *publier*, meaning to make public). The word "copublisher" refers to someone who publishes something together with another person or entity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('co-') and 'making public' ('publisher') — that's why a copublisher is someone who publishes something alongside another.
