Plural of assemblage; collections of things or people brought together, or in art, pieces of different materials combined to create a work.
From assemblage (French 'assemblage' from 'assembler'), the -age suffix creates a noun meaning 'the act or result of assembling.' Added -s for plural.
In modern art, 'assemblage' became a major movement where artists like Robert Rauschenberg created works from found objects—proving that 'garbage' plus artistic vision equals museum-quality art.
