Morphology

coalescency = coalesce (transparent) = coalesce + ency

A straightforward nominalization: 'coalesce' (to come together) + '-ency' (state/process) yields 'the process or state of coming together'.

Etymology

Coalescency comes from Latin parts that mean 'together' (co-) and 'to grow' (alescere), so it literally means 'to grow together'. A helpful image is small pieces 'growing together' into one, which is why coalescency means the process of joining into a single whole.
