With or near another person or thing, in the same place or group. It can also mean in cooperation or at the same time.
From Old English 'tōgædere' meaning 'in company, in the same place,' from 'to' plus a form related to 'gather.' The sense of combined action developed naturally from physical closeness. Over time, it grew into both spatial and emotional meanings.
Together started as a simple idea—being in the same place—but expanded into emotional and social unity. When you say 'we’re in this together,' you’re talking about more than location; you’re talking about shared fate. The word quietly upgrades closeness into connection.
