Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root j-m-ʿ, which carries the core sense of collecting or bringing together. Form I, جَمَعَ (jamaʿa), means to gather something transitively. This word is Form V, built by adding a ت prefix and doubling the middle root letter, which turns the action reflexive: people gather themselves rather than being gathered by someone else.
