Morphology
agglomerative = agglomerate (transparent) = agglomerate + ive
Standard adjectival formation from the verb 'agglomerate' using the productive suffix '-ive', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
Agglomerative comes from Latin parts ad- 'to' and glomerare 'to form into a ball', and you can see the same idea in conglomerate, a mass of things stuck together. Think of many small pieces rolled into one lump, and that's why agglomerative means 'clustered together into a mass'.
