Think of several pairs of hands all pushing the same load together — com- 'with' plus labor 'work'. At its core collaboration is shared effort on one task; whether it builds something good or helps an enemy depends only on whose hands you join.
From the word’s history
From Latin com- 'with' + laborare 'to work' → collaborare 'work together'. The dark sense (helping an occupying enemy) is the same word narrowed to wartime, first used of Vichy France around 1940.
來自拉丁文 com(一起)＋ laborare(工作),字面就是『一起出力做事』。二戰時同一個字被拿來指『跟佔領你國家的敵人一起做事』,於是多了通敵這層陰暗的意思(最早用在維琪法國)。
