Root Explanation

Together → The word originates from Old English 'tōgædere', where 'tō' (meaning to) and 'gædere' (meaning together or in a group) combine to convey the idea of being in a group or in unison. Thus, 'together' means in or into one place or group.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'in a group' ('gædere') and 'to' ('tō') emphasize that you are all in one place. This helps you remember that 'together' means being with others.
