Morphology

coadapted = adapted (transparent) = co + adapt + ed

The prefix 'co-' clearly indicates 'together' or 'jointly', and the meaning is directly derived from 'adapted'.

Etymology

Coadapted comes from co- meaning 'together' and adapt meaning 'to make fit', the same root as the common word apt ('fit' or 'suitable'). So, coadapted describes parts or traits that have changed 'together' to fit and work well as a group.
