Morphology

coexistent = coexist (transparent) = co + exist + ent

The adjective is formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ent' to the recognizable verb 'coexist', and the meaning directly follows.

Etymology

The word coexistent breaks into co- ('together') and exist ('to be'), so it means things that 'exist together' or happen at the same time.
