Third person singular present tense of assemble; meaning to gather together or to put parts together to form a complete whole.
From Old French 'assembler' (to gather, to resemble), from 'a-' (to) + 'sembler' (to seem). The -es ending marks third person singular.
The verb 'assemble' descends from the same Latin root as 'similar'—because when things are similar, they naturally go together, revealing how our concepts of gathering and resemblance are linguistically intertwined.
