Morphology

coordinated = coordinate (transparent) = co + ordinate + ed

The meaning follows directly from the verb coordinate plus the participial suffix -ed, with no major semantic shift.

Etymology

The word coordinated comes from co- meaning 'together' and order meaning 'put in order'. So a coordinated team or plan is one where different people or parts act 'together in order' to achieve a goal.
