Root Explanation

Conglomeratic is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "glomerare" (meaning to gather or form into a ball). The word describes something that is made up of various parts or elements that are gathered together.

Memory Tip

Think of things being 'gathered together' ('con-') into a whole ('glomerare') — that's why conglomeratic refers to a mixture of different elements.
