Morphology

congealed = congeal (transparent) = congeal + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participial/adjectival use of the verb 'congeal' formed with '-ed', so the meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

Congealed comes from parts meaning con- 'together' and gel 'to freeze', so it originally meant 'freeze together'. That's why congealed describes a liquid or soft thing that has become thick or solid, usually when it cools.
