conspiringly

/kənˈspaɪɹɪŋli/ adv

In a conspiring way; as part of a conspiracy.

Word Origin Conspire from Latin con- 'together' and spirare 'to breathe' — literally 'to breathe together'. The idea is that conspirators breathe the same air, share a secret plan. Conspiringly means in a conspiring manner. The root spirare gives us inspire (breathe in), expire (breathe out), perspire (breathe through), respire (breathe again), and spirit (breath, life). The breakdown con+spir+ing+ly shows the shared breath.
