Etymology
مَعاً is the adverbial form of the preposition مَعَ, meaning "with." The final ـاً is the accusative ending (tanwin) that turns the word into an adverb of manner, giving the sense "together" or "jointly." The base مع is an old Semitic element for accompaniment, attested across the family.
