I just realized that's the root word of coincidental but pronounced differently because?

English, you're dumb.

Is it pronounced differently? I have always pronounced it the same (but without the -al, obviously)

I've always heard it as co-in-sigh-dent as the root, but that could also be a regional thing.

That's how I've heard coincide pronounced, for sure. Language do be like that.
