Morphology
coproduction = production (transparent) = co + produce + ion
In the service/policy context, 'co-' (together) + 'production' (making/delivering services) straightforwardly conveys collaborative creation.
Etymology
Coproduction combines co- ('together') and production ('making' or 'creating'). Like working with a co-worker, coproduction in public services means professionals and citizens 'make' services together, which is why it is about shared work and ideas.
