Morphology

cooccur = occur (transparent) = co + occur + cur

The prefix 'co-' clearly indicates a joint or simultaneous action with 'occur'.

Etymology

Cooccur comes from the prefix co- meaning 'together' and the verb occur meaning 'to happen'. So, when things cooccur, they 'happen together' or at the same time.
