The phrase 'in cahoots' means to be in league with, or to be an accomplice in something. 'In cahoots with' is usually used to denote a close co-operation between two or more people in order to achieve a common objective. For example, "they were in cahoots with the local gangsters". It is generally used to denote a relationship that is often secretive or conspiratorial in nature.

The term saw its origin in the middle of the 15th century. It supposedly originated from a colloquial French word 'cahute' which means a small shed or house and may have come to mean the close quarters in such a cabin or dwelling.

The term cahoots may also refer to the following: an LP by thr rock group The Band, A Canadian women's magazine and an internet bank in England.
