Morphology
amalgamative = amalgamate (transparent) = amalgam + ate + ive
The adjective is formed from the verb 'amalgamate' using the productive suffix '-ive', so the relation is directly inferable.
Etymology
Amalgamative comes from amalgam, a word once used for a soft mix of metals and taken from Arabic al-malgham which means 'soft paste', so it has the idea of joining different things together. That's why something amalgamative means it mixes or unites many parts into one whole.
