Definition
荟 is a bound form (b.f.) that only appears as part of compound words, not alone. Its two main senses are 'luxuriant growth (of plants)' — seen in classical literary contexts — and 'to gather together; to assemble', which is the more common modern usage in words like 荟萃 (huìcuì, 'to gather together'). You'll also encounter it in the loanword 芦荟 (lúhuì, 'aloe vera').
