1703, "union of parts, parts of a thing taken together," from French ensemblée "all the parts of a thing considered together," from Late Latin insimul "at the same time," from in- intensive prefix + simul "at the same time," related to similis (see similar). Musical sense of "union of all parts in a performance" in English first attested 1844. Of women's dress and accessories, from 1927. Earlier in English as an adverb (mid-15c.), "together, at the same time."
中文解释
1、en- "intensive prefix" + sembl- "gather, together" + -e.2、含义：all the parts of a thing considered together.3、as an adverb, "together, at the same time"; 受到 simul / simul- "at the same time" 的影响，然后变体而得，类似于：dissimulate => dissemble.
