minus-squarejballs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·2 years agoHuh now it’s got me wondering if that’s where the word “cooperate” comes from. Maybe it takes more more than one person to make a barrel.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up28·2 years agoNo. “Cooperate” is co-operate. Co means “with” or “together”. So “work together”

Someone who makes barrels.
“Fassbinder” in German, a quite common last name. So Michael Fassbender means “Michael Cooper.”
Küfer or Böttcher also exists.
