Morphology

cooccurring = co-occur (transparent) = co + occur + ing

The verb is formed by adding the productive prefix 'co-' (together) to 'occur', then '-ing' for the participle; the meaning is directly compositional.

Etymology

The word cooccurring is made of the part co- ('together') and the verb occur ('to happen'), so it means 'happening together'. Think of cooperate, which also uses co-, to remember the 'together' idea. That is why cooccurring describes things that happen at the same time.
