Morphology

coed = education (semi-transparent) = co + ed

The prefix 'co-' suggests a joint or shared aspect, but the specific meaning of 'coed' as including both genders is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

Coed is short for co- ('together') and education, the same co- you find in cooperate. So a coed activity or place includes both men and women.
