Morphology

coagulative = coagulate (transparent) = coagulate + ive

Formed directly from the verb 'coagulate' with the productive adjectival suffix '-ive', meaning 'relating to or causing coagulation'.

Etymology

The word coagulative comes from the Latin coagulum 'a clotted mass'. Think of milk turning into curd or blood forming a 'clot', something that sticks together, so coagulative means causing or relating to clotting or thickening.
