Morphology

coproducer = producer (transparent) = co + produce + er

The prefix 'co-' meaning 'joint/with' attaches to the familiar noun 'producer' to denote someone who produces jointly.

Etymology

Coproducer comes from the prefix co- meaning 'together' and producer meaning 'one who makes'. So a coproducer is a person or company who 'makes' a film, show, or project 'together' with others and shares the work and responsibility.
