co-opt(k-pt, kpt)
tr.v. co-opt·ed, co-opt·ing, co-opts

1. To elect as a fellow member of a group.
2. To appoint summarily.
3. To take or assume for one's own use; appropriate: co-opted the criticism by embracing it.
4. To neutralize or win over (an independent minority, for example) through assimilation into an established group or culture: co-opt rebels by giving them positions of authority.

Ah! I see... Or do I? :o/

I'm going for number 3...
