#assembly
- Achromatized — Having undergone the process of achromatization; an optical system, objective, or lens assembly color-corrected to prevent light dispersion and the formation of parasitic colored fringes. In a technical sense, it describes the final state of a precision device whose sphero-chromatic aberrations have been minimized according to industrial standards.
- Addition — The act of gathering and its dynamic outcome; the collection or clustering of scattered objects, beings, or goods into one place. In mathematics, it constitutes the elementary arithmetic operation through which the total sum of two or more numbers or magnitudes is determined. In a social and legal context, it denotes an organized meeting, a public assembly, or a collective body of citizens.
- Althing — The national parliament of Iceland, officially recognized as one of the oldest operating parliamentary institutions in the world; it was initially founded in the year 930 as a general assembly of clan leaders on the plains of Þingvellir.
- Packaging — The act of packing, wrapping, or packaging and its result; a technological, manual, or automated process of placing and sealing products into appropriate containers to ensure safe transport. In mechanics, it defines the sudden racing or over-speeding of an engine.
- Empennage — The structural assembly of aerodynamic stabilizing surfaces usually located at the rear section of an aircraft fuselage or body, consisting of the horizontal empennage (stabilizer and elevator) and the vertical empennage (fin and rudder). This design layout has the core function of ensuring directional stability, longitudinal stability, and flight control maneuvers during path tracking.
- Hanging device — A device, tool, or mechanical piece of the feminine gender used to suspend, catch, or hang material bodies; a hook or special suspended fixing ring. As an adjective, it describes a structure, plant, or flexible component that has the property or function of catching and dangling from a support.
- Assembly — A complex unit formed by the harmonious, orderly, and interdependent reunion of multiple elements, parts, buildings, or individual activities cooperating structurally to fulfill a common function or to form a unified whole. In mechanics, it defines a group of assembled parts; in architecture, a coherent complex of buildings; in art, a troupe of performers (folk or choral ensemble).
- Switchgear — A complex assembly consisting of several structurally interconnected technical devices, instruments, and accessories, used for the control, switching, protection, or distribution of electrical energy or for executing a specific industrial operation. In common language, the term can describe the totality of equipment necessary for the operation of a laboratory or a high-power facility.
- Apella — The popular state assembly of full citizens in ancient Sparta, similar to the Athenian ecclesia; a political institution responsible for voting on laws proposed by the gerousia (council of elders), declaring war, concluding peace, and electing ephors and council members, with voting typically expressed through shouting.

In a modern figurative sense, the term denotes an assembly of persons possessing unquestionable moral, scientific, or legal authority, structurally invested with the power to issue definitive decisions.
- Assemblage — A structural system or complex structure resulting from the joining, interlocking, and mechanical, rigid, or mobile fixing of several independent parts, components, or elements. In an artistic sense, it represents a three-dimensional work created by combining heterogeneous objects or diverse materials, offering a new aesthetic and conceptual unity.
- Assembling — The act of assembling and its result; a technological operation, manual or automated, through which the component elements of a product, machinery, or structure are grouped, fitted, and joined according to a pre-established technical schematic. It represents the final phase of the industrial manufacturing process in which separate parts become a functional whole.
- Female assembler — A female worker specialized in the operations of mounting, joining, and assembling the component parts of a technical assembly, mechanical or electronic device, or industrial item; an automated machine or device used for the structural joining of various subassemblies in continuous flow production lines.
- Assembler — A computer utility program that translates instructions written in an assembly language (a low-level programming language using mnemonics) into binary machine code, directly executable by the central processing unit (CPU). In everyday IT jargon, the term is often used metonymically to denote the Assembly language itself, used for software optimization, operating system development, and microcontroller programming.
- Auditorium — The totality of people listening to a lecture, speech, concert, or watching a show; the gathered audience or spectators. By extension, the term designates the large hall, amphitheater, or specially designed space where these public events or university courses take place.
- Self-aggregated — A system, structure, or molecular complex formed through the spontaneous grouping and binding of its own elementary components (particles, cells, macromolecules), driven by native intermolecular or electrostatic attractive forces without the intervention of an external binding agent. As an adjective, it describes a material or cellular assembly structured by this type of autonomous in situ assembly.
- Auxometer — A special optical instrument or apparatus used to determine and measure the magnifying power of a lens system, microscope, or telescope; a precision device engineered to measure the exit pupil diameter or the ratio between image size and actual object size.
- Limber — The front part of a vehicle, agricultural machinery, or motor vehicle, comprising the front axle, steering wheels, steering system, and related suspension components. In a historical military context, it denotes a limber, a two-wheeled cart attached to the front of a gun or artillery carriage to allow its rapid towing by horses or motorized vehicles.
- Archaic guard troop — An extremely rare archaic and regional term designating a guard troop, an improvised military barrier, a watch camp, or an irregular band of soldiers. In certain local dialects, it carries a pejorative collective meaning for a loud, unorganized assembly.
- Archaic guard troop — An extremely rare historical and regional term used in ancient community dialects or border documents, designating a band of guards, a rudimentary escort, or an auxiliary military body tasked with protecting convoys or trade routes.
