Morphology
coprocessing = processing (transparent) = co + process + ing
Formed by productive prefixation 'co-' added to 'processing', a standard compositional process.
Etymology
Coprocessing starts with co- 'together' and the part process 'a series of actions', as in cooperate and processor. Think of two or more systems sharing the work at the same time, which is why coprocessing means using more than one system or processor together to handle tasks faster and more efficiently.
