Analysis. saṁ + sāmeti: saṁ (together) + sāmeti (√sam, to bring or put together; cognate with Sanskrit samayati). The prefix saṁ intensifies the root's meaning of unification.

Etymology. From √sam (to put, place, bring together); cognate with Sanskrit samayati and ultimately with English 'same', Greek homo- (same), Latin similis (similar) — all from the Indo-European root *sem- meaning 'one, together'.
