Etymology

PIE word
*ḱóm
From French conglober, from Latin conglobāre, the present active infinitive of conglobō (“to gather into a ball; to accumulate; to crowd together”), from con- (prefix denoting a being or bringing together of several objects) + globus (“round object, globe, sphere; glob; group”) (from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“to form into a ball; a ball”)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).
