?Which word?

Collaborate का अर्थ 'मिलकर काम करना' है: 'collaborate on a project'। Corroborate का अर्थ 'समर्थक प्रमाण से किसी कथन की पुष्टि करना' है: 'The witness corroborated his story'। दोनों दिखने में मिलते-जुलते हैं इसलिए नियमित trap हैं; collaborator आपके साथ काम करता है, corroboration आपका समर्थन करता है।
