Morphology

conglutination = conglutinate (semi-transparent) = con + glutin + ation

Standard noun formation from the verb 'conglutinate' using the productive suffix '-ation'.

Etymology

Conglutination comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and glutin- 'glue', the same idea as everyday glue. So when the edges of a wound or a broken bone grow and stick 'together' as they heal, that natural 'gluing' is called conglutination.
