Word family
What the root means ج م ع
The root carries the idea of bringing together what was scattered. From it come “to gather”, “to come together”, “to resolve firmly” (gathering one's will on one thing) and the words that say “all, the whole”.
to gather, to bring together
جَمَعَ
to come together, to assemble
اِجْتَمَعَ
to resolve firmly on something
أَجْمَعَ
firm resolve
إِجْمَاعٌ
all, the whole
Synonyms
all, every
It can stand on its own before a noun to say “all”, whereas the headword only comes afterwards, to reinforce.
