Morphology
coordination = coordinate (semi-transparent) = coordinate + ion
The grammatical sense is a nominalization of 'coordinate' in a technical domain (grammar), so it's form-transparent but domain-specific.
Etymology
Coordination comes from the parts co- 'together' and ordin- (like the English word order). That sense of being 'placed together at the same level' explains why in grammar coordination links equal parts with words like 'and' or 'or'.
