助记提示


1、关于为什么会有引申义:gather, together 的解读,咱们汉语里有“物以类聚,人以群分”之说,英语亦是如此。语言就是这样,对事物、现象的解读、看法都具有相近、相通性,只是使用了不同的语言去表达。
2、因此,这里的“gather, together”更多的强调的是相同、相似、同类事物的聚合。
3、as- "to" + sembl- "gather, together; 解读:物以类聚" + -e.

英文词源


assemble
assemble: see similar
assemble (v.)
early 14c., transitive and intransitive, from Old French assembler "come together, join, unite; gather" (11c.), from Latin assimulare "to make like, liken, compare; copy, imitate; feign, pretend," later "to gather together," from ad- "to" (see ad-) + simulare "to make like" (see simulation). In Middle English and in Old French it also was a euphemism for "to couple sexually." Meaning "to put parts together" in manufacturing is from 1852. Related: Assembled; assembling. Assemble together is redundant.
