prettygoodwordconglobate (kon-GLOH-bayt, KONG-gloh-bayt) - v., to form into a round compact mass. adj., shaped like a ball.
To conglobe, to use its older synonym. This is Latinate, obvs., taken around 1630 from Latin conglobātus, the perfect passive participial of conglobō, gather into a ball/crowd together, from con-, together + globus, ball + a verb-forming suffix. And yes, we also get globe from globus.
