Morphology

conjugate = con + jug + ate

Although analyzable as con- + jug + -ate, the combining form 'jug' is not a standalone English word and the specialised meaning 'paired or coupled' is not transparently derived for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Conjugate comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and jugare 'to yoke', so picture two things joined like animals under one yoke. That's why conjugate can mean 'joined in pairs', as in leaves that come as a matched pair.
