Morphology

co-occur = occur (transparent) = co + occur

The prefix 'co-' meaning 'together' combines with 'occur' ('happen') to give the clear meaning 'happen together'.

Etymology

Co-occur joins the part co- meaning 'together' with occur, which means 'to happen', so it literally means 'to happen together'; think of two events arriving at the same time, and remember co- from common words like cooperate.
