Congregable

/ˈkɑnɡrɪɡəbəl/ adjective

Definition

Capable of being gathered or assembled together; able to be collected into a group or congregation.

Etymology

From Latin 'congregabilis,' derived from 'congregare' (to flock together, gather), combining 'con-' (together) and 'gregare' (to collect into a herd, from 'grex' meaning herd or flock).

Kelly Says

The 'greg' part connects to words like 'gregarious' and 'aggregate'—all about herds and groups—so congregable means 'able to be herded together into one group.'
