solidarity

solidarity
In the civil law, when several persons bind themselves towards another for the same sum, at the same tune, and in the same contract; and so obligate themselves that each may be compelled to pay the whole debt, and that payment made by one of them exonerates the others towards the creditor; and the obligation thus contracted is one, in solido, although one of the debtors be obliged differently from the others to the payment of one and the same thing; as if the one be but conditionally bound, while the engagement of the others is pure and simple, or if the one is allowed a term which is not granted to the others
