Morphology

conjunct = con + junct

Although specialists may recognize con- plus the bound root junct, this learned Latinate form is not productively interpretable for most learners from familiar English parts.

Etymology

Conjunct comes from Latin con- 'with' and junct 'joined', the same idea you see in the English word 'join' or 'junction', so it means things that are 'joined together' or acting as one.
