Morphology

concelebration = celebration (semi-transparent) = con + celebrat + ion

The noun is built from 'celebration' with con- meaning 'together', but this Latinate prefix is less obvious to many learners than the more familiar 'co-'.

Etymology

Concelebration comes from con- 'together' and celebration 'joyful event', like the word celebrate, so it simply means people or groups 'celebrate together' as one shared event.
