Morphology
coalesce = co + alesce
While the prefix 'co-' suggests 'together', 'alesce' is not a standalone English morpheme and the verb is a learned Latinate item, so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning from its parts.
Etymology
The word coalesce comes from the Latin coalescere, built from co- meaning 'together' and a part that means 'to grow', and it is like the common word coalition. So, to coalesce is to 'come together' and form one whole.
