To conjoin things is to join them together, or to make people or things come together as one. It is a stiff, rather old-fashioned verb — you will meet it in careful writing, law, and older books more than in everyday talk, where people just say join, combine, or link. The form you are most likely to know is conjoined, as in conjoined twins: twins born with their bodies joined. Though actually, even there, many people now simply say twins who were born joined; older names can sound . Conjoin itself is not a rude word; it is just heavy, so it feels odd if you use it for joining a club or joining a line.
