assembly

Joining component parts

Assembly is the act of bringing parts or people together into a unified whole.

Workers on an assembly line fit components together to manufacture products.

A kit requires assembly.

Assembly also means a gathering of people for a common purpose—a school assembly, a legislative assembly.

In computing, assembly language is low-level code that communicates more directly with hardware than high-level languages.

The right of assembly, protected in many constitutions, allows people to gather peacefully. (Capitalized Assembly often names a specific legislative body.)
