Morphology

conjoined = conjoin (semi-transparent) = con + join + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participial form of 'conjoin' meaning 'joined together'.

Etymology

Conjoined comes from the parts con- meaning 'with' and join meaning 'to join', the same part you see in join and joint. So conjoined describes two or more things that are 'joined together' or united.
