The adjective aggregate means something that is formed by adding together several smaller amounts or scores.
Synonyms are combined, accumulated, collected, or piled.
The word origins from Latin (1400) aggregatus, past participle of aggregare meaning “attach, join, include, collect, bring together”, literally “bring together in a flock”. It comes from assimilated form of ad meaning “to” plus gregare meaning “to collect into a flock, gather”, from grex meaning “a flock”.
