Built from

sam — prefix · together, with
Prefix meaning 'together' or 'with', bringing things into one. Works like Latin con- and English 'same'.
ihita — stem · placed, put
Past participle of √dhā/hā 'to place or put'. The form shows the combination of prefix and root in the derived adjective.

Analysis. sam- (together) + ihita (placed, from √dhā/√hā 'to place'), literally 'placed together'; the form samihitaṁ is the accusative singular masculine, often used in nominalized or adverbial function in Pali texts.

Etymology. sam- (together, with) + √dhā/hā (place, put, lay), cognate with English 'set' and Sanskrit dhā. The prefix sam- conveys the sense of bringing into one, collectedness; -hita is the past participle. Not to be confused with samādhita (firmly established, arranged).
