together

1、把它整个拆开了：together = to + gather（聚拢）。往一处聚就是"一起"，所有搭配都能还原成这个动作。
2、同族：gather 收集、gathering 集会。
3、五个常考搭配：go together 相配、pull together 齐心协力、put together 拼起来、come together 合得上/情况好转、stand together 站在一起。重音在第二音节，结尾 th 是浊音 /ð/。

together 一起，一致

合成自 to gather.

together

together: [OE] The etymological notion underlying together is of ‘gathering’ things into one group. It was formed from the preposition to and the element *gad- denoting ‘association, company’, which also lies behind gather.
=> gather

together (adv.)

Old English togædere "so as to be present in one place, in a group, in an accumulated mass," from to (see to) + gædere "together" (adv.), apparently a variant of the adverb geador "together," from Proto-Germanic *gaduri- "in a body," from PIE *ghedh- "to unite, join, fit" (see good, and compare gather).

In reference to single things, "so as to be unified or integrated," from c. 1300. Adjective meaning "self-assured, free of emotional difficulties" is first recorded 1966. German cognate zusammen has as second element the Old High German verbal cognate of English same (Old English also had tosamne "together").
