compile
compile early 14c., from O.Fr. compiler "compile, collect" (13c.), from L. compilare "to plunder, rob," probably originally "bundle together, heap up;" hence "to pack up and take off," from com- "together" (see COM- (Cf. com-)) + pilare "to compress, ram down." Related: Compiled; compiling.
