The word "aggregator" is derived from the verb "aggregate", which comes from the Latin word "aggregatus", the past participle of "aggregare". "Aggregare" is a combination of the prefix "ad-" meaning "to" or "towards", and "gregare" meaning "to collect into a flock" or "to assemble". Over time, "aggregate" came to mean "to gather or collect into a mass or whole". From this, the noun form "aggregator" emerged, referring to something or someone that gathers or collects various items or information into one place, such as a website or software that collects news articles or data from multiple sources.
