+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|con-|globō|t2=to make into a ball]], from [[m|la|globus|t=ball, mass]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan thinks [[m|la|globus]] is probably a loanword, related to [[m|la|glēba|t=clod]], whose only likely cognates are Baltic, such as [[lt|glė́bti|t=to embrace, clasp]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The TLL finds it from Sisenna and Cicero's philosophical works on.^(TLL) Sisenna has men massed together, clashing their arms.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is first to form into a ball or sphere: Cicero reports Xenophanes' teaching that all is one, of spherical shape, and says the sea, seeking the middle, forms itself into a sphere.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is also to gather into one mass: Cicero's earth is drawn together into itself, Seneca imagines atoms massing a man by chance, and ''sanguis conglobātus'' is a blood clot.^(OLD 2012) Of people and animals it is to crowd together, as in Apuleius, bursting into a bedroom in a close wedge,^(OLD 2012) and figuratively Cicero speaks of definitions massed together.^(OLD 2012) The TLL notes that the participle ''conglobātus'' is very common.^(TLL)
