Word meaning depends on how it is used in a sentence. "Consolidates" may refer to something you gather together for a common purpose as in 'consolidating the remaining forces'; it may refer also to saving something to achieve more value as in 'consolidate the assets of the company to efficiently pay creditors'. English language is alive so stand-alone word is not enough to understand its true meaning.
