Morphology
coextensively = coextensive (transparent) = co + extensive + ly
The adjective 'coextensive' (co- + extensive) is a straightforward combination meaning 'sharing the same extent', and adding '-ly' yields the adverbial sense 'in a coextensive way'.
Etymology
The word coextensively comes from co- meaning 'together' and extend meaning 'to stretch', the same part you see in extend and extent. So if two things apply coextensively, they 'stretch' over exactly the same area, like two maps put on top of each other that match.
