Word origin

The word 'assembly' originated from Middle English 'assemble', from Old French 'assembler', based on Latin 'ad-' (to) + 'simul' (together). The term has been used since the 14th century to refer to a gathering or group of people. Over time, it has evolved to also encompass the mechanical process of fitting parts together to create a whole.
