Morphology

coproduce = produce (transparent) = co + produce + co

The productive prefix 'co-' meaning 'together' combines with the familiar verb 'produce' to yield 'produce together', a directly compositional meaning.

Etymology

Coproduce joins the prefix co-, as in cooperate or coworker, which means 'together', with produce, which means 'make'. So to coproduce something is to make it together with one or more people or groups.
