This originally meant come together, until it took on the predominately sexual sense. But it’s PIE and Latin roots were simply “come with”. Co + ire.

You might call it a con job, but there are quite a few con- and co- words used for sexual congress: conjugal, copulate, and from another direction entirely, the ever ambiguous intercourse and intimacy.
