Morphology

coordinator = coordinate (transparent) = coordinate + or

Agent noun formed from the verb 'coordinate' with the productive suffix '-or', meaning 'one who coordinates', which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

Coordinator comes from Latin parts co- meaning 'together' and ordin- meaning 'order', the same idea behind the English word order. So a coordinator is someone who 'puts things in order together' and helps people or groups work well.
