cochairman

/ˈkoʊˌtʃɛɹmən/ noun

A joint chairman.

Word Origin A triple-decker: co- 'together' from Latin com-, chair from Latin 'cathedra' meaning seat (same root as cathedral, the bishop's seat), and man from Old English. So a cochairman is literally a man who shares the seat of authority. The idea of a chair as a position of power comes from the throne-like seat, and cathedral preserves that original sense of a seat of a bishop.
