Morphology

conjoin = join (semi-transparent) = con + join

The link to 'join' is clear, but the Latinate prefix 'con-' is less accessible to average learners than highly productive native prefixes.

Etymology

Conjoin comes from the parts con- meaning 'together' and join, the same word you already know. So, to conjoin is to bring two or more things together or unite them.
