The verb for turning scattered things into one problem you now own.
means To bring separate things or people into one place, or to gradually collect information, courage, or understanding over time.
from From Old English gaderian, rooted in a Germanic family of words tied to 'together' — the idea of things being drawn into one cluster. The same ancient root that gives us 'good' as in a fitting or suitable match may be related, suggesting an original sense of things being brought into proper company with one another.
