compilations
Assembled works together
Compilations are things assembled from various sources into a single collection.
A compilation album gathers songs from different artists or different recordings by one artist: The label released a greatest hits compilation.
A compilation of essays brings together previously scattered work.
The word emphasizes the gathering process—selecting and arranging existing material rather than creating something new.
