The word consolidate is the one used to refer to a certain type of action. Consolidating is nothing more than giving firmness, rigidity, durability to something, for which the term as a verb can be used in very different and diverse spaces. Consolidate comes from the idea of consolidation, the consolidation in specific terms is nothing more than the transformation from something to something more solid and firm. It is important not to confuse the verb consolidate with solidify, since the latter refers to the process of transferring from one state to another of matter.
The word consolidate is generally used in a sense abstract or metaphorical is already used regularly to refer to phenomena of this type. For example, there is no talk of consolidating a pie or consolidating a car, if not that it is common to say, for example, that a government, a institution, a family or a draft. Consolidation is therefore not something that can be seen clearly and specifically, but is normally understood as an abstract and not a concrete process.
If it is understood that the concept of consolidation or consolidation takes time and that it is not something immediate, one can understand at the same time why this term is used in situations or for phenomena abstract. This is so because if we say that a friendship was consolidated, for example, it is understood that such a process took time and was not something sudden or momentary. If it were said that a cake was consolidated, this idea of process would not be implied. In this sense, this is why the word consolidate always supposes the exercise of establishing something (some kind of phenomenon or process) with strong and durable foundations so that it is not easily destroyed.
