Etymology of CONGREGANTS

The word "congregants" is derived from the root word "congregate".

"Congregate" originated from the Latin word "congregare", which means "to collect together" or "to assemble". This Latin term is a combination of "con-" (meaning "together") and "gregare" (meaning "to gather" or "flock").

The suffix "-ant" is added to the root word to form "congregants". This suffix is derived from the Latin suffix "-antem", which indicates a person or thing performing the action described by the root word. Therefore, "congregants" refers to the individuals who actively participate or gather together in a religious or communal assembly, such as a congregation or a group of worshippers.
