The act of building or putting something together by combining different parts or materials.
From Latin 'construere' (to heap together), combining 'con-' (together) and 'struere' (to pile up or build). The word has meant 'to build' since the 1400s in English.
The word 'construct' comes from the same root as 'structure,' 'obstruct,' and 'instruct'—they all share that idea of putting things together or arranging them, whether it's physical materials, obstacles, or knowledge.
