Morphology

coincident = coincide (transparent) = co + incid + ent

Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ent' to the verb 'coincide', so the adjective meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Coincident comes from Latin parts co- 'together' and incidere 'to fall', so it literally means 'to fall together'. That's why when events are coincident they happen at the same time.
