Etymology
Conspirator comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and spirare 'to breathe', the same breath root you see in inspire 'to breathe into', so it originally meant people who 'breathed together'. That image helps: a conspirator is someone who joins a secret plan, often to do something illegal.
