Definition in Spanish
Acción o resultado de juntar piezas o componentes para formar un objeto completo.
Word origin
From the verb ensamblar plus the noun-forming suffix -aje, ultimately from Old French assembler 'to join', so the noun names the action or the result of joining parts.
Usage tips
- Used mainly for the physical joining of components in manufacturing or furniture, while montaje is often used for stage or film editing, so ensamblaje avoids that ambiguity.
