Root Explanation

Assemble → It is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "simulare" (meaning to make similar or to bring together). The word "assemble" means to bring things or people together into a group or collection.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bringing together' ('ad-') things that are 'similar' ('simulare') — that's why assemble means to gather into a group.
