Morphology

codirect = direct (transparent) = co + direct

The prefix 'co-' meaning 'together' combines directly with the verb 'direct' to mean 'direct together', a straightforward and productive formation.

Etymology

Codirect starts with co- meaning 'together' and uses direct, which means 'to guide or lead', just like in director. So to codirect is to guide or lead a film, project, or event 'together' with one or more other people.
