Morphology
consolidation = consolidate (semi-transparent) = con + solid + ate + ion
The noun is a standard and easily interpretable formation from the verb 'consolidate'.
Etymology
Consolidation comes from con- ('together') and solidare ('to make solid'). So, it means joining parts into one stronger whole, which is why people use it for combining schools, companies, or departments.
