Analysis. sam- (together) + iñjati (moves, bends); the prefix brings the sense of co-ordination or mutual flexing to the root's basic motion.

Etymology. √iñj (to move, bend) is related to Sanskrit iñjati; sam- (together, completely) is the productive prefix cognate with English same and Latin con-. The compound shows how spatial proximity (sam- "brought into one") deepens a simple motion verb into reciprocal or coordinated action.
