It initially referred to a partnership or collaboration, often with a connotation of secrecy or conspiracy. Over time, it has evolved to describe individuals or groups working together, often for dubious or mischievous purposes. The exact origins remain somewhat unclear, but its usage has persisted in various contexts.
