constellate
Gather like stars
To constellate is to gather or cluster together, like stars forming a constellation.
The word appears in academic and literary contexts: Ideas constellate around a central theme.
It can also mean to adorn with or as if with stars, though this sense is rare.
The gathering sense dominates: Memories constellate in unexpected ways.
