Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root ج-م-ع (j-m-ʿ), "to gather, collect, unite." It is built on the Form VIII verb اِجْتَمَعَ, "to assemble or come together." As a noun of place on the pattern مُفْتَعَل, it names the place or state in which people are gathered, and the sense settled into "society" or "community."
