Morphology

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

Derived from 'joining' in the sense of events 'coming together' in time, but the technical/temporal sense may not be immediately obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Conjunction comes from the Latin parts con- 'together' and jungere 'to join', like the English word join. In this sense it means two or more events 'coming together' at the same time, a kind of coincidence.
