Morphology

conjunction = conjoin (semi-transparent) = con + junct + ion

This is a fairly clear nominalization of 'conjoin', but the stem alternation from 'join' to 'junct' makes the relationship less immediately obvious.

Etymology

Conjunction comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and jungere 'to join', and is like the English word join. So a conjunction can mean the act of joining or combining things or states together.
