Morphology
co-ordinator = coordinate (transparent) = coordinate + or
Meaning is directly derived from the verb 'coordinate' plus the agentive suffix '-or', denoting a person who coordinates.
Etymology
Co-ordinator starts with co- meaning 'together' and the rest is like the common word order, which means 'arrangement'. So a co-ordinator is someone who puts people and tasks 'together in order' so they work well.
