What does "Co" mean in "CoClass"?

I am good with COM classes, also know as "CoClasses". I fully understand what they do, what they do and how they relate to interfaces.
But here's my question: what exactly does "Co" mean in "CoClass"? Is it "Co" as "cooperate" or "with" as in "concrete" or "co" as in "COM" or "co" as in something else entirely?

"The coclass operator is used to define an object , and the interfaces it supports "
