Morphology

coalesced = coalesce (transparent) = coalesce + ed

Formed from the verb 'coalesce' with the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed', giving the straightforward meaning 'joined together'.

Etymology

Coalesced comes from the Latin coalescere, where co- means 'together' and the rest means 'to grow', so it once meant 'to grow together'. That's why coalesced describes things that have joined into one whole, like small drops that come together and form a single larger drop.
