To collude is to work with someone in secret, usually to cheat or break a rule. Two companies might collude to keep prices high; two students might collude on a test. The feeling is bad — it is not just cooperate or work together. People also stretch it in a playful way: “The weather colluded with us” (the weather helped, as if it were in on the plan). That is not the core sense. The noun is collusion.
串通、勾結
組成From Latin collūdere, from con- (“together”) + lūdere (“to play”). Literally “to play together,” which came to mean playing a secret, dishonest game.
