Have you ever seen a conglobation of marbles all gathered together?

Yeah, it looks pretty cool when they all form a perfect ball.

I love how they just roll together in that conglobation.

It's satisfying to watch, isn't it?

Root Explanation

Conglobation 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 mass or ball, hence the idea of gathering together into a rounded shape.

Memory Tip

Think of things coming 'together' ('con-') to form a 'ball' or 'sphere' ('globare') — that's what conglobation means.
