Menghimpun

Menghimpun is an Indonesian and Malay verb meaning to gather, assemble, or compile. It is formed from the root himpun with the prefix meng-, which marks an active transitive action. The word describes the act of bringing together items, data, information, people, or resources into a coordinated collection or repository, often with a purpose such as research, planning, or governance. The noun form penghimpunan refers to the act or process of gathering, while himpunan or himpun can denote the collection itself.

In usage, menghimpun is common in contexts such as data gathering, archiving, fundraising, or mobilizing participants. Examples include menghimpun data for a report; menghimpun dana for a fundraising campaign; menghimpun massa for a rally. The expression can appear in both formal and semi-formal registers.

Menghimpun is related to mengumpulkan, another Indonesian verb meaning to collect. While both convey gathering, menghimpun often implies consolidation and organization into a coherent whole, whereas mengumpulkan may emphasize accumulation. The passive form is dihimpun, and related nouns include penghimpun (the collector) and penghimpunan (the act or result of gathering).
