- 1協作的；合作的（學校常說「協作學習」）
Collaborative describes a job or piece of work that two or more people do together to reach the same goal — a collaborative project, collaborative learning, a collaborative effort. Schools, offices, and labs love the word; the tone is positive and a little formal, more meeting-room than playground. The usual shape is an adjective in front of a noun. Though actually, some workplaces also say “a collaborative” as a noun for the joint project itself. The related person-word collaborator needs a kind warning: in war stories, a collaborator is someone who helps the enemy. Collaborative itself stays on the friendly, working-together side.
From the word’s history
collaborate + -ive.
由 collaborate 加上 -ive 組成。
組成collaborate + -ive. Collaborate is “work together”; -ive turns that into an adjective (and sometimes a noun).
