Root Explanation

Conglobate is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "globare" (from Latin, meaning to form into a ball or sphere). The word describes the act of forming into a rounded mass or ball, hence the meaning of conglobate is to gather or cluster together into a spherical shape.

Memory Tip

Think of things coming 'together' ('con-') to form a 'ball' ('globare') — that's why conglobate means to cluster into a rounded shape.
