助記提示
1、關于為什么會有引申義：gather, together 的解讀，咱們漢語里有“物以類聚，人以群分”之說，英語亦是如此。語言就是這樣，對事物、現象的解讀、看法都具有相近、相通性，只是使用了不同的語言去表達。
2、因此，這里的“gather, together”更多的強調的是相同、相似、同類事物的聚合。
3、as- "to" + sembl- "gather, together; 解讀：物以類聚" + -e.
中文詞源

英文詞源
- 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.
