Morphology

all + together

The meaning 'with everyone or everything in a group, at the same time or in the same place' is directly and compositionally built from 'all' (the whole group) + 'together' (in the same place/time), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning. This pattern is cross‑linguistically common and follows straightforward English composition; while learners might confuse it orthographically with the single word 'altogether' ('completely'), the phrase 'all together' remains transparent.

Etymology

All together comes from the simple image of all people or things being together in one spot or acting as one group, like friends standing close and clapping at the same time. So, it now means 'at the same time' or 'in the same place'.
