conglomerations
Clustered diverse assemblies
Conglomerations are things gathered or clustered together, often without apparent order or unity.
The word suggests a mixed assemblage rather than a coherent whole: The desk held a conglomeration of papers, coffee cups, and forgotten snacks.
In business contexts, conglomerations are large corporations formed from diverse, often unrelated companies merged under single ownership.
