Etymology

أجمع comes from the Arabic root ج-م-ع, which carries the core sense of gathering or collecting. It is built on the أفعل (af'al) pattern, a form often used in Arabic for totality or superlative meaning. As a corroborative word, it follows a definite noun to stress that the whole of it, without exception, is meant.
