Morphology
consolidate = con + solid + ate
The meaning 'combine into a unified whole' is related to the idea of making something solid or firm together, but this figurative extension is not fully predictable for a typical learner.
Etymology
Consolidate comes from the parts con- ('together') and solid ('firm'), like our word solid. That helps: to consolidate things is to bring them 'together' into one 'solid' whole.
