Morphology
consolidative = consolidate (transparent) = consolidate + ive
The adjective is formed directly from the verb 'consolidate' with the standard adjectival suffix '-ive', so the meaning is directly derived.
Etymology
The word consolidative comes from the parts con- ('together') and solid ('solid' or 'firm'), so it shows the idea of pieces joining into one solid block. That's why something consolidative helps make parts into a single firm whole, whether it is departments merging or lung tissue becoming more solid.
