The act or process of compiling; a compilation or assembled collection.
From compile + -ment (action or result suffix). The -ment suffix, from Latin -mentum, creates nouns indicating the result or product of an action, though 'compilement' has been largely superseded by the simpler 'compilation.'
The word 'compilement' almost completely vanished from English by the 18th century, replaced by the simpler 'compilation'—this happens because English speakers naturally prefer shorter words when synonyms exist, gradually discarding the longer form from daily use until only dictionaries remember it.
