💡 Memory Tip

Break it down: TO + GETHER. Imagine two people TO going GETHER (gather) in the same direction — that's 'together'. The word 'gather' is hidden inside 'together'!

Picture two hands clasping firmly in a handshake or two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly into one complete picture — that's the essence of 'together'.

📖 Etymology

Origin: Old English "tōgædere" — in a body, in a group, at the same time

First known use: before 12th century

From Old English 'tōgædere', composed of 'tō' (to) and 'gædere' (together, in a body), related to Old English 'gæd' (fellowship, companionship). The word evolved through Middle English 'togeder' into the modern form 'together'. It has retained its core meaning of union and collective action throughout its history.
