Morphology
concomitance = concomitant (semi-transparent) = con + comit + ance
Formed from the adjective 'concomitant' by a regular noun-forming suffix '-ance', but the base and combining elements are Latinate and relatively rare, so the relation may not be obvious to lower-level learners.
Etymology
The word concomitance comes from Latin parts con- 'with' and a root meaning 'to accompany', the same idea you see in accompany and company. So, concomitance means when two or more things happen or exist 'together'.
