Morphology
coordination = coordinate (transparent) = coordinate + ion
The noun is directly formed from the verb 'coordinate' with the nominalizing suffix '-ion', so the meaning is straightforward for learners.
Etymology
Coordination comes from the parts co- 'together' and ordin- (like the English word order). So it means putting different things together in the right order, which is why coordination is about organizing parts so they work smoothly as a whole.
