Morphology
conjugate = con + jug + ate
The chemical sense is technical and cannot be predicted from the apparent parts by an average learner; the root form 'jug' is not a separate English word.
Etymology
Conjugate comes from the Latin con- 'together' and jugare 'to yoke', so in chemistry it means parts that are joined in a line or chain. That's why a conjugate system in a molecule is a set of joined bonds that can change how the substance shows color or reacts.
