Morphology
constellation = constellate (semi-transparent) = con + stell + ation
The figurative sense is a metaphorical extension of 'constellate' + '-ation' (a grouping or arrangement), but the Latin-derived root is not fully transparent to all learners.
Etymology
Constellation uses the Latin parts con- ('together') and stella ('star'), so it means a set of things that come 'together'. Think of people or factors as stars making a pattern; when these parts act together they can change what happens, which is why we call such a group a constellation.
