What is Cold 4-bet in poker?

A preflop 4-bet made by a player who was not the original open-raiser. For example, the BB posts (first raise), the CO opens (2nd raise), the BU 3-bets (3rd raise), the BB cold 4-bets (4th raise). If the action had folded to the CO and the CO raised again, that would be a standard 4-bet.
