Morphology

conjoint = joint (semi-transparent) = con + joint

The connection to 'joint' is recognizable and semantically close, but 'conjoint' is a learned formal borrowing rather than a highly productive modern English prefixation.

Etymology

The word conjoint comes from the parts con- meaning 'together' and joint meaning 'joined', the same root you see in join and joint. So, conjoint describes things that are joined or acting as one.
