Morphology

coparent = parent (transparent) = co + parent

The productive prefix 'co-' added to the verb 'parent' yields the expected sense 'to parent jointly', which is semantically regular.

Etymology

Coparent as a verb joins co- 'together' and parent 'mother or father', so to coparent is to share the duties of raising a child with someone else.
