Morphology

consistence = consist (transparent) = consist + ence

The meaning 'uniformity or agreement' is a direct nominalization of 'consist' (state of being in agreement/composition).

Etymology

The word consistence comes from Latin parts con- 'together' and sistere 'to stand', like things 'standing together' in agreement. So consistence can mean how even or harmonious parts are, or how well they agree with each other.
