Note
One spelling serves three uses of the verb, and the subject's role shifts between them. A technician assembles parts, acting on an object; a crowd assembles, gathering itself with no object at all; and a program assembles code, translating assembly language into machine code. The object-free use is the one learners miss: she assembles the team and the team assembles describe the same gathering from opposite ends.
