From the word’s history
Borrowed c.1600 from Late Latin cooperātus, past participle of cooperor 'to work with'; co- + operate.
借自拉丁文 cooperātus，就是 co- 加 operate。
Picture two people carrying one table: neither can do it alone, so they match their steps and both keep hold. Cooperate is built from co- (together) plus operate (work) — working together instead of separately, or working with someone instead of against them.
