constructs
Assembles from parts
Constructs works as both verb and noun around the idea of building or assembling.
To construct is to build something by putting parts together: They constructed a bridge across the river.
A construct is something built or created, often abstract—a mental framework or theoretical idea: Gender is largely a social construct.
In grammar, a construct is a group of words forming a phrase or clause.
