Morphology
incoordination = coordination (transparent) = in + coordinate + ion
The prefix 'in-' straightforwardly adds the meaning of absence or lack to 'coordination'.
Etymology
Incoordination starts with in- ('not') and the part coordinate ('to arrange together'). So it means body parts are 'not working together', which makes movement clumsy.
