Morphology
coordination = coordinate (semi-transparent) = coordinate + ion
Formally derived from the adjective 'coordinate' meaning 'of equal rank', but the nominal sense 'the state of being equal in rank' is somewhat specialized and less immediately obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Coordination comes from the parts co- 'together' and ordin- (like the English word order). The idea of being put 'in the same order' led to the meaning of things or people having the same rank or level, so coordination can mean equal importance or authority.
