Morphology

coeditor = editor (transparent) = co + editor

The prefix 'co-' meaning 'jointly' plus 'editor' yields the straightforward meaning 'an editor who shares responsibility'.

Etymology

Coeditor starts with co-, which means 'together', and ends with editor, the person who 'edits' or prepares text for publication. So a coeditor is someone who shares the job of editing and making decisions about what to publish.
