Morphology

consolidated = consolidate (transparent) = consolidate + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'consolidate', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word consolidated comes from the parts con- 'together' and solid 'firm', so think of separate groups or results being joined into one strong whole, which is why a 'consolidated' report or company is unified and stronger.
