Combining into one
Consolidating is the process of combining separate things into a unified whole.
Companies consolidate by merging operations: They're consolidating three regional offices into one.
Debts consolidate into a single payment.
Power consolidates when it becomes concentrated: The regime spent years consolidating control.
The word suggests strengthening through unification—making something more solid or secure.
