"Co(m)" comes from Latin "cum", meaning "together", as in "cooperate" (to operate together), colleague (together in a league or group).
"Patriota" is related to "patriot", which originally meant "related to the 'patria'", where "patria" means "fatherland" or "mother country", from the Latin word "pater", meaning "father".

Simply use the dictionary blank at the top, or double click on the word to find its meaning.
from the link: compatriot, fellow countrywoman
