adj. 1. Combined into a single, more effective or coherent whole.
adj. 2. (Finance) Merged or grouped, as in financial statements or debts.
vt. 3. To make solid or firm; to strengthen or unify.
Derived from Latin consolidatus (past participle of consolidare), from con- (intensive prefix) + solidare ("to make firm," from solidus "solid"). The word originally implied physical solidity (e.g., healing bones) but evolved metaphorically to denote organizational or financial unification by the 16th century. The suffix -ed marks its adjectival or participial form in English.
