Definitions

  1. assume a globular shape

Word origin

From French conglober, from Latin conglobāre, the present active infinitive of conglobō (“to gather into a ball; to accumulate; to crowd together”), from con- (prefix denoting a being or bringing together of several objects) + globus (“round object, globe, sphere; glob; group”) (from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“to form into a ball; a ball”)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs).

Used in a sentence

  • Not closer, orb in orb, conglob’d are seen / The buzzing Bees about their dusky Queen.
  • Thither they / Hasted with glad precipitance, up-rolled, / As drops on dust conglobing, from the dry;
  • But what means this? The downy swathes combine, / Conglobe, the smothery coy-caressing stuff / Curdles about her!
