Morphology

agglomerated = agglomerate (transparent) = agglomerate + ed

A regular adjectival/past-participle form derived from the verb 'agglomerate' with the productive suffix '-ed', so the meaning is directly 'gathered into a mass'.

Etymology

Agglomerated comes from Latin parts ad- meaning 'to' and glomus meaning 'ball' or 'lump'. So something agglomerated is 'formed into a lump' or gathered into a cluster or mass, which is why we use it for dust, seeds, or cells stuck together.
