Morphology

cohost = host (transparent) = co + host

The verbal sense 'to present together' follows directly from combining 'co-' with the verb 'host', so the formation is overt and regular.

Etymology

The verb cohost is made of co- meaning 'together' and host meaning 'to welcome or run an event'. So to cohost is to organize or present something 'together' with one or more people.
